Why is carrying capacity important to know about when looking at population density?
Because it describes what population can be supported in order to export to other countries
Because it describes how much population the land can support without environmental deterioration
Because it shows that all countries can produce higher yields so that they do not need to import food
Because it shows the development of the land
Why is there a higher agricultural density in less developed countries?
Because in less developed countries there is less of a need for farmers due to technology
Because more developed countries need more farmers to supply a larger food source
Because in less developed countries there are more farmers due to being an economy based on labor
Because in more developed countries there is a high demand for jobs
Why might an area suffer if the Total Fertility Rate is too low?
Because they won't be able to have as many individuals in the pre-productive stage to replenish the current population
Because they won't be able to have as many workers, so it might stop them from progressing
Because they are a post-industrial country so they will need more workers
Because the country has reached the carrying capacity
If the mortality rate, infant mortality rate, and child mortality rate are low what does that mean?
The country has good access to healthcare and proper nutrition
The country has reached its carrying capacity so they need more population

What is the rate of natural increase?
It is a statistic that compares the infant death rate and the child mortality rate
It is a statistic that compares the immigration and emigration to a country

The amount of time it takes for a population in a given area to double it is calculated with "the rule of 70"
