The most significant implication of population
growth is
The most rapid growth is occurring in LDC
Too many people compared to available resources
overpopulation
The world’s 4th largest concentration of people is
located in
Southeast Asia
Most populated country in the world is
China
2/3 of the world’s population is located in which
regions
East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and South Asia
Most people live in cites in Europe, North America,
and other more developed countries
Not in East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast
and South Asia
Most populous country in South East Asia
Indonesia
People tend to live in __________________ lands.
warm
Very few people live in highland areas, but there
are many exceptions in
Latin America
People per suitable area for agriculture
Physiological density
Low agricultural density
Large amount of arable land but small number of
farmers
Arable land
Land suitable for agriculture
Physiological density is much larger than arithmetic
density, then a country has
A small percentage of land suitable for agriculture
If two countries have the same arithmetic density
we can assume these countries have
The same number of people per area of land
The reason population growth increased
approximately 10,000 years ago was
Agricultural revolution
The annual population growth increased
approximately 200 years ago because of the
Industrial revolution
Diffusion of medical technology is
The medical revolution
The average number of births women bear in their
lifetime
Total fertility rate
To study fertility, geographers many times use
Crude birth rates
The time it takes the world’s population to double
Doubling time
Current natural increase rate
1.2 percent
A decline in a country’s crude birth rate would
result in a increase of a country’s
Doubling time
Countries in Africa such as Uganda have higher
Natural increase rates than the rest of the world
The lowest _______________are found in Europe
in countries such as Denmark and Norway.
Crude birth rates
When combined for all less developed countries,
which of the rates is lower than more developed
countries?
Crude death rates
Why would a country have a lower crude death
rate than the United States?
Because that country would have a lower
percentage of elderly people
Among world countries, the spread between the
highest and lowest crude death rates is
_______________ than the spread between the
highest and lowest crude birth rates.
less
Life expectancy is lower in __________________.
Africa
Crude birth rate
Total number of birth per 1,000 people in a
society
Highest natural increase rates is in which stage of
the demographic transition model?
Stage two
The lowest crude birth rates are found in countries
of which stage of the demographic transition?
Stage 4
The highest crude death rates are in which stage of
the demographic transition?
Stage one
If a country has a crude birth rate of 40 and a crude
death rate of 15, which stage of the demographic is
this country in?
Stage two
If country 1 has a crude birth rate of 40 and a crude
death rate of 15, while country 2 has a crude birth
rate of 20 and a crude death rate of 9. Which
country has a higher natural increase rate.
one
If a country has 1,000 births and 150 of them die
before the age of one, this is an indication of that
country’s
Infant mortality rate
Rapidly decline crude death rates are found in
which stage of the demographic transition?
two
The invention of new technology 200 years ago
moved countries from
Stage one to stage two
Percentage of people too young or old to work
Dependency ratio
The shape of a country’s population pyramid is
shaped primarily
By its crude birth rate
A birthrate of 10 per1000 people is typical of a
country in stage
four
A country such as Denmark or Norway would have
a _____________population pyramid because of
low birth rates
narrow
England’s population pyramid would resemble
another country in Europe such as Denmark or
Norway.
Not those of LDCs
Why would the population pyramid of Naples
Florida be upside down?
Large number of elderly people
Less developed countries enter stage 2 of the
demographic transition because of
Diffusion of medical technology from other
countries
Malthus concluded that
Rate of population would be higher than the
development of food supplies
How did Malthus’s theory compare with food
production?
Food production was higher than Malthus
predicted
Primary reason that natural increase rates in less
developed countries have been declining is
Declining crude birth rates
Low rate of contraceptive use in Africa is
Low status of women
The reemergence of infectious and parasitic
diseases may lead to
A stage five of the epidemiological transition
model
The most lethal epidemic in recent years has been
Aids
