exceeds the habitat’s carrying capacity.

is competing with another species.

grows increasingly faster.

breeds with another species.

true

false

The _________________ is maximum number of individuals of one species that the environment can support.

emigration

limiting factor

carrying capacity

immigration

Which best describes the reason for the very rapid growth of the human population since the industrial revolution?

Humans have few offspring, but their young survive at a very high rate

Environmental resistance does not apply to humans

Technology has allowed the species to overcome some environmental resistance

Climatic change favorable to humans has allowed our species to expand its range

Which is the first significant change that occurs in a country undergoing demographic transition?

Birth rates decline as a result of improved education for women

Birth rates decline and emigration occurs, resulting in a gradually declining population

Death rates decline as a result of improved food production and medical care

Death rates and birth rates diverge, leading to a gradual population decline

10.

Replacement fertility:

Restores population size after a catastophic event

Is a contraceptive technique

is below 2.1 in Africa

is equal to 2.1 in stable populations

11.

Changes in Population are attributed to the..... (Check all)

Migration

Fertility

Mortality

Wars

Baby Boom

12.

___________ is defined as how many people and area can support on a sustained basis.

Agricultural Density

Carrying Capacity

Ecumene

Population Momentum

13.

Which of the following demographic statistics best measures the level of reproduction occurring in a population?

Composite birth statistics

Natal Rate

Current Death Rate

Current Birth Rate

Total Fertility Rate

14.

A population is

a group of communities that exist in different places

a group of organisms of one species that lives in the same area at the same time

a group of people that populate one place at the same time on different planets

15.

The most populous country in the world

China

India

Brazil

16.

The number of babies out of 1,000 that die during their first year of life is called

infant mortality

growth rate

demography

17.

Given a total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1, which statement is a correct description of this value?

The value represents the number of children born per unit female

Replacement level fertility is actually 2.0, which means that a male and a female will be replaced by 2 children

The value means that the population is growing slowly because 2.1 – 2.0 = +0.1

A value of 2.1 means that exponential population growth is occurring

18.

Sustainable development is?

Meeting the needs of current generations without affecting the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

Consuming as much of the earth's resources as possible in the time that we have.

Not getting our needs so that future generations can get their needs.

19.

India

Japan

Latvia

USA
