A

there are more people alive now than at any other time

25
Q

Relatively few people live at high elevations, but there are significant exceptions, especially in

A

Latin America

26
Q

If the physiological density is much larger than the arithmetic density, then a country has

  1. inefficient farmers
  2. a large number of farmers
  3. a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture
  4. too many people for the available resources
A

this means there a lot of people per unit of arable land as a result of a small percentage of arable land

27

A

it was the agricultural revolution that caused the population growth ten thousand years ago

28

A

2.1 is replacement level

30
Q 
The total number of live births per year per 1,000 people in a society is the
crude birth rate

A

this is the definition and formula for calculating the crude birth rate

31
Q 
for every 1,000 babies born in Mozambique in 2010, nearly 79 will die before they reach their first birthday. The rate of 79 deaths per 1,000 is known as the
Answers:	
infant death rate
infant mortality rate
infant life expectancy
infant fertility rate
A

infant mortality rate

32
Q

Describe stage 1 in the demographic transition.

A

Low growth
very high birth and death rates produce virtually no long term natural increase
Most of human history was spent here currently no country is in this stage

33
Q 
More developed countries moved from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of the demographic transition 200 years ago because of
the agricultural revolution
invention of new technology
people moving to cities
women choosing to enter the labor force
A

the movement from Stage 1 to Stage 2 was due to the invention of new technology which was associated with the industrial revolution

34
Q

What did people depend on for food stage 1 of the demographic transition ?

A

hunting and gathering

35
Q

Describe stage 2 in the demographic transition.

A

rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates produce very high natural increase

36
Q

How did North American and Europe enter into stage 2

A

the industrial revolution 200 years before Asia Africa and Latin America

37
Q

Where did the industrial revolution start

A

London or United Kingdom

38
Q

When did stage 2 diffuse into Africa Asia and Latin America?

A

200 years after Europe and North America following the Medical Revolution…improving medical practices and eliminating traditional causes of death

39
Q

Describe stage 3 of the demographic transition

A

Birth Rates rapidly decline , death rates continue to decline and natural increase rates begin to monderate

40
Q

Describe stage 4 of the demographic transition

A

very low birth and death rates produce virtually no long- term natural increase and possibly a decrease

41
Q

How does a society move into stage 3?

A

When CBR and CDR fall; people start having fewer children, live in the city.

42
Q

When did the US and Europe move into Stage 3 from stage 2

A

first half of the 21 century

43
Q

Stage 4 when the CBR declines to the point where it equals the CDR and the NIR approaches zero is called what condition

A

zero population growth

44
Q

More people are alive now than at any time in the past.
True
False

A

Correct - this is a true statement

45
Q

Answers: True False

A

this is false, in fact it is quite the opposite, it means that there is less arable land and a lot of people overall living on that arable land
