Population Pyramids!!

Question 1

Expansive

Answer 1

Broad base and tapering top, indicating a high proportion of young people and a rapidly growing population. It typically reflects developing countries with high fertility rates, high death rates, and low life expectancies.

Question 2

Constrictive

Answer 2

A narrow base, indicating a declining birth rate and a larger proportion of elderly individuals. They represent populations that are shrinking and aging, with higher levels of social and economic development, and access to better education and healthcare.

Question 3

Stationary

Answer 3

A rectangular shape with vertical sides, indicating a stable population where births and deaths are balanced. This means the population is neither growing nor declining significantly, and the percentages of people in each age group are relatively equal. It’s often characteristic of developed nations with low birth rates and high life expectancies.
