• Physiological density

2) Population patterns shown on the map indicate that areas around river deltas and upland lake and river valleys have higher densities. Which of the following best explains why these regions are more heavily populated?

• These regions have pronatalist policies.
• These regions have access to international trade.
• These regions experience seasonal climate variation.
• These regions have mineral resources.
• These regions have higher carrying capacities.

3) This is a measure of the economic impact of the young and old on the more economically productive members of the population.

• Demographic transition
• Dependency ratio
• Doubling time
• Natural increase rate
• Voluntary Migration

4) Which statement about overpopulation is true?

• Overpopulation is unlikely because food production potential is unlimited.
• Overpopulation can only occur in less-developed areas.
• Overpopulation is achieved when the physiological density reaches more than 1,000/km.
• Overpopulation occurs when an area’s population is greater than its carrying capacity.
• Overpopulation only occurs when the rate of natural increase is above 1.0 for over a decade

5) Which of the following statements best explains the trend about infant mortality shown in the bar chart?

• The trend can be explained by improvements in political participation and voting in all regions.
• The trend can be explained by rural to urban migration and the growth of cities in all regions.
• The trend can be explained by industrialization and improved job opportunities.
• The trend can be explained by improved health care and nutrition in all regions.
• The trend can be explained by improvements in communications and Internet access.

6) What characteristics or traits can best explain the difference in Infant mortality rate between Africa and more developed nations?

• Africa offers more opportunities for economic growth
• More developed nations have lower rates of rural to urban migration
• Educational opportunities for females is drastically higher in more developed nations
• Physiological density is usually higher in Africa
• Countries in Africa have a reputation of instituting strict anti-natalist policies
