Arithmetic density is ___________

• total population divided by total land area

• total population divided by arable land

• number of farmers divided by total land area

• number of farmers divided by arable land

An area that holds a permanent settlement is known as a(n)-

• continent

• ecumene

• carrying capacity

• city

Which one of these regions is NOT one of the 4 regions that hold 2/3rds of the world's population?

• Southeast Asia

• Western Europe

• South Asia

• United States

• East Asia

Physiological density is ________________

• total population divided by total land

• total number of farmers divided by total land

• total population divided by arable land

• total number of farmers divided by arable land

The maximum population an environment can sustain is known as ________

• overpopulation

• high population

• carrying capacity

• rapid growth

Agricultural density is_______________

• total population divided by total land

• total number of people divided by total land

• total number of farmers divided by arable land

• total number of people divided by arable land

What does a country have if the physiological density is very high and its arithmetic density is very low?

• a large number of farmers, although the number of farmers is not as great as the number of people living in the cities
• too many people for the available resources, particularly in regards to agricultural land
• too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture
• a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture, even if there seems to be plenty of space available to live in

Which of the following could be used to determine health care for women and children

• crude birth rate

• crude death rate

• infant mortality rate

• life expectancy

• natural increase rate

Which region has the population with the highest fertility rate and the lowest life expectancy?

• Southeast Asia
• Eastern Europe
• Latin America
• Sub-Saharan Africa

The problem with using arithmetic population density to investigate the population pattern of a country is that such a density figure does not take into consideration

• annual population increases.

• internal clustering of people within the country.

• annexation of new territory.

• possible loss of territory.
