5000 BC.
AD 50.
AD 1500.
AD 1900.
Comparing the charts, maps, and other data on the world population growth in this chapter, one can deduce that after the Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years ago Earth's human population
changed little because of the availability of food from massive land animals.
began a long period of near stagnation, following a heretofore unprecedented period of rapid growth.
began to increase at a heretofore unprecedented rate, following millennia of near stagnation.
had not yet appeared on the surface of the planet.
We can calculate that a country would raise, or increase, its agricultural density if it
decreased the number of farmers.
increased the areas of its urban centers.
decreased the amount of agricultural land.
decreased the number of farm animals.
If the physiological density in a given country is very high and its arithmetic density is very low, then a country has
inefficient farmers or farmers that are out of work.
a large number of farmers, although the number of farmers is not as great as the number of people living in the cities.
a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture, even if there seems to be plenty of space available to live in.
too many people for the available resources, particularly in regards to agricultural land.
Analyzing the maps of fertility and mortality in this chapter, we see more countries with high birth rates and high rates of infant mortality in
East Asia, excluding Japan.
Africa south of the Sahara.
South Asia, excluding Bangladesh.
Southeast Asia.
Country A has a crude birth rate of 60 and a crude death rate of 15, while Country B has a CBR of 27 and a CDR of 9. Which country has a higher natural increase rate?
Country B
The NIR is the same in both countries.
The rate depends on total population, so it can't be computed from this information.
Country A
The shape of a country's population pyramid
is determined primarily by its crude birth rate.
has no correlation to its crude death rate.
cannot be used to estimate the country's dependency rate.
cannot be used to estimate the country's sex ratio.
A crude birth rate of approximately 10 per 1,000 is typical of a country in which stage of the demographic transition?
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
More of the "why" questions of demographics can be addressed with data focusing on
inventions.
health.
topography.
air quality.
The stages of the epidemiologic transition are based on
causes of death at varying stages of the demographic transition.
the means through which disease is transmitted spatially.
non-contagious diseases such as heart disease, obesity, or diabetes.
new food sources which produced population explosions.
More people are alive now than at any time in the past.
true
false
The physiological density of Egypt is approximately 2,600 persons per square kilometer, while the arithmetic density is approximately 80. This means that most of the country's land is unsuitable for intensive agriculture.
true
false
A country of 30,000,000 people has a crude birth rate of 10. This means that in one year 30 babies were born.
true
false

Many Argentinians who fled the country in the 1970s, when the country was ruled by a military regime, returned to the country after democratic elections were held in 1983. We might categorize this as an example of
an economic migration factor changing to an environmental migration factor.
forced migration changing to voluntary migration.
a pull factor changing to a push factor.
a push factor changing to a pull factor.
