population density

What is population density?

• Measurement of population per unit area

• Average income per unit area

• Amount of rainfall per unit area

• Number of buildings per unit area

Name one factor that affects population distribution.

• Elevation

• Language

• Distance from the equator

• Climate

What are the types of population distribution?

• even, odd, and prime

• random, uniform, and clumped

• north, south, and east

• large, medium, and small

How is population density measured?

• By counting the number of buildings in an area

• By calculating the total area of the area

• By measuring the average height of the population

• By dividing the total population of an area by the total land area of that area.

How does high population density impact the environment?

• It leads to increased resource consumption, pollution, and habitat destruction.

• It reduces resource consumption and pollution

• It has no impact on the environment

• It leads to increased biodiversity and ecosystem stability

What is the impact of low population density on a region?

• Increased economic development, improved access to services, and enhanced cultural and social opportunities

• More job opportunities, better infrastructure, and increased diversity

• Higher crime rates, overcrowding, and pollution

• Limited economic development, lack of access to services, and reduced cultural and social opportunities

What are the implications of uneven population distribution?

• Strain on resources in densely populated areas and underutilization of resources in sparsely populated areas

• Decrease in strain on resources in densely populated areas and increase in strain on resources in sparsely populated areas

• Increase in strain on resources in densely populated areas and decrease in strain on resources in sparsely populated areas

• Equal distribution of resources in densely populated areas and sparsely populated areas

How does population density affect resource availability?

• Has no effect on resource availability

• Decreases competition for resources

• Leads to equal distribution of resources

• Increases competition for resources

X: Population density is calculated by dividing the total population by the total land area.
Y: An area  with a high population density always has a large total population.

       

• If X &Y is True 

•   If X and Y is False

• If X is True, Y is False 

• If X is False, Y is True

X: Population density can impact the availability of resources in an area.
Y: High population density can lead to increased competition  for resources.

• If X &Y is True 

• if X and Y is False

• If X is True, Y is False

• If X is False, Y is True
