2024 - 2025 FINAL TERM GEOG MOCK

When the death rate of a country exceeds its birth rate and there is minimal migration, the population of the country will:

• Grow steadily

• Remain unchanged

• Decline

• Fluctuate unpredictably

Which of the following scenarios would most likely lead to a decrease in a region's dependency ratio?

• A sudden increase in the birth rate

• An influx of young, working-age migrants

• A significant rise in the retirement age without other changes

• An outbreak of a disease that mainly affects the elderly

Urban sprawl, often associated with population growth in urban areas, can result in:

• Reduced demand for public transportation

• Preservation of natural habitats

• Increased traffic congestion and longer commute times

• Decrease in the cost of housing on the urban outskirts

A country implements a policy that provides financial incentives for families to have more children. This policy is most likely aimed at addressing:

• Overpopulation

• An ageing population with a low birth rate

• High levels of urban overpopulation

• Excessive internal migration

If a region has a high population density in coastal areas due to fishing industries and tourism, but these areas are prone to natural disasters like tsunamis, the main challenge in population management is:

• Balancing economic development and disaster risk

• Increasing the birth rate in these areas

• Reducing the death rate from non-disaster causes

• Encouraging more international migration to these areas

The total fertility rate measures:

• The average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime

• The number of births per 1000 people in a population

• The ratio of the birth rate to the death rate

• The proportion of women of child-bearing age in a population

A population pyramid with a narrow base and a wider top section is characteristic of:

• A rapidly expanding population

• A population with a stable growth rate

• An area experiencing high levels of emigration of young people

• A population with a high birth rate and low death rate

Which factor is least likely to influence a person's decision to migrate internationally?

• The availability of local job opportunities

• The climate of the destination country

• The color of the destination country's flag

• Political stability in the home country

In a developing country, as more people move from rural to urban areas in search of jobs, it can lead to:

• Equal distribution of resources between urban and rural regions

• A decrease in the overall population of the country

• Overcrowding in urban slums and pressure on urban infrastructure

• A significant increase in the birth rate in urban areas

When analyzing the impact of population growth on the environment, increased deforestation is mainly related to:

• The need for more housing and agricultural land

• A decrease in the demand for wood products

• An increase in the number of people working in forestry

• Improved environmental conservation efforts
