Which population pyramid shown above best represents a college town?

Sri Lanka and Australia have about the same population. What data would help you determine which country has a higher physiological population density?

• The area of each country

• The number of farmers in each country

• The total fertility rate of each country

• The amount of arid land in each country

• The amount of arable land in each country

Physiological population density is viewed as a superior measure of population density for which of the following reasons?

• It is more reflective of population pressure on arable land.

• It yields the average population density.

• It is more reflective of the world’s largest population concentrations.

• It measures the average by dividing total land area by total number of people.

• It best reflects the percentage of a country’s population that is urbanized.

Which of the following identifies how population density is shown in the maps?

• At different scales of analysis

• In different types of cultural regions

• In different types of vernacular regions

• At the same scale, showing different parts of the country 

• In different types of physical regions

A population pyramid for a country that is relatively wide at the top and then narrows as you get to the bottom most likely represents which of the following populations?

• A population  made up only of retirees

• A population with a large percentage of guest workers

• A population with an unusually small percentage of older females

• A rapidly expanding population

• A stable or declining population

One challenge commonly seen in a rural area with low population density is

• how to provide services effectively such as emergency responses and access to hospitals

• how to ensure people are spaced to limit the spread of contagious diseases

• how to build enough schools to serve the large number of children

• how to limit air pollution due to the large number of vehicles on roadways

• how to encourage people to vote in upcoming elections

The map displayed shows the number of people per square km therefore we can say this is a map that shows-

• agricultural density

• arithmetic density

• carrying capacity

• internal migration

• physiological density

Which of the following is NOT considered to be one of the top five population concentrations in the world?

• East Asia

• Europe

• South America

• South Asia

• Southeast Asia

Which of the following population patterns is common in more developed countries?

• High birth rates, leading to younger age structures

• An uneven ratio of males to females, leading to lower total fertility rates

• Higher population densities in rural areas, leading to scarcity of natural resources

• A rapidly increasing working-age population, leading to high unemployment rates

• Declining levels of fertility and mortality, leading to older age structures

The population pyramid shown is a pyramid consist with a country that would want to institute ______ if they haven't already.

• Antinatalist Policies

• Female Empowerment Initiatives

• Industrialization Incentives

• Migration Restrictions

• Pronatalist Policies
