Physiological density is different than mathematical density because instead of total land, it only factors in:

• • land near water

  
  

• • land without buildings

  
  

• • arable land

  
  

• • prime land

  
  

What does a high agricultural density number indicate?

• 
  

• • more manual laborers, less technology

  
  

• • less manual laborers, more technology

  
  

• • better land, more fertilizer

  
  

• • damaged land, poor irrigation

  
  

Which country had more advanced agricultural practices?

• 
  

• Country A
