APES Chapter 7 Friedland

The human population is currently following roughly a j-shaped curve.  This means that the population is growing

• arithmetically.
• sigmoidally.
• at a decreasing rate.
• exponentially.

Population size can be estimated using the formula

• (CBR + Immigration) + (CDR + Emigration)
• (CBR + Immigration) - (CDR + Emigration)
• (CBR - Immigration) + (CDR - Emigration)
• (CBR - Immigration) - (CDR - Emigration)

The total fertility rate (TFR) is an estimate of:

• the number of children that will survive to adulthood
• the number of years a typical infant will live
• the number of children each woman in a population will have
• the number of births per 1000 people per year

Use Figure 7-1.  Population A would most likely be in which stage of demographic transition?

• Pre-Industrial
• Transitional
• Industrial
• Post-Industrial

A country with an age distribution like that shown in the figure above, is most likely a country that

• Is expecting rapid growth
• Is experiencing slow or no population growth
• Is experiencing a high death rate
• Is a less-developed country

An age structure diagram with roughly similar numbers of individuals in each group is representative of which country?

• India
• Mexico
• Sweden
• Venezuela

Thomas Robert Malthus introduced

• the study of human demographics
• the hypothesis that humans could exceed Earth's carrying capacity
• the concept of variation in replacement-level fertility due to differences in industrialization
• the age structure diagram

doubling time can be approximated mathematically by 

• 70/growth rate
• 10/growth rate
• 2/growth rate
• 20/CBR-CDR

• 0.1%
• 0.2%
• 0.5%
