One important feature of the world's population with the most significant future

implications is that

the most rapid growth is occurring in the less developed countries

Geographers define overpopulation as

too many people compared to resources

of these five regions?

Sub-Saharan Africa

The most populous country in the Southeast Asia region is

especially in

Latin America

Physiological density is the number of

persons per area suitable for agriculture

A country with a large amount of arable land and a small number of farmers will

have a

low agricultural density

Land suited for agriculture is called

arable land

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

has

a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture

India and the United Kingdom have approximately the same arithmetic density.

From this we can conclude that the two countries have the same

number of people per area of land

The annual global population growth rate increased approximately ten thousand

years ago because of the

agricultural revolution

The annual global population growth rate increased approximately two hundred

Industrial Revolution

diffusion of medical practices

The average number of births women bear in their lifetimes is

total fertility rate

To study fertility, geographers most frequently use the

crude birth rate

The world's population in 1995 was approximately 6 billion and was expected to

reach 12 billion in approximately 45 years. The period of 45 years is known as

doubling time

The annual natural increase rate is currently approximately

1.25 percent

A decline in a country's crude birth rate would result in an increase in the country's

doubling time

Costa Rica has a lower crude death rate than Sweden because Costa Rica

has 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.

demographic transition?

Stage 4

the demographic transition is this country?

Stage 4

Country X has a crude birth rate of 40 and a crude death rate of 15, while Country Y

has a crude birth rate of 20 and a crude death rate of 9. Which country has a higher

natural increase rate?

Country X

For every 1,000 babies born in Mozambique this year, nearly 150 of them will die

before they reach their first birthday. The rate of 150 deaths per 1,000 births is known as

the

infant mortality rate

Rapidly declining crude death rates are found in which stage of the demographic

transition?

Stage 2

The percentage of people who are too young or too old to work in a society is the

dependency rate

The shape of a country's population pyramid is determined primarily by its

crude birth rate

A crude birth rate of approximately 10 per 1,000 is typical of a country in which

stage of the demographic transition?

Stage 4

The population pyramid of Naples, Florida, is "upside down," because the city has a

large percentage of

elderly people

Thomas Malthus concluded that

the world's rate of population increase was higher than the development of food supplies

In comparing Malthus's theory to actual world food production and population

growth during the past half-century, the principal difference is that

actual food production has been much higher than Malthus predicted

The principal reason for declining natural increase rates in less developed countries

today is

declining crude birth rates
