India and the United Kingdom have approximately the same arithmetic density although their landscapes and sizes are quite different. From this we can conclude that the two countries have roughly the same
number of people per area of arable land.
number of people per area of land.
pressure placed by people on the land to produce food.
level of output per farmer.
number of farmers per area of land.
If the physiological density in a given country is very high and its arithmetic density is very low, then a country has
a small percentage of land suitable for agriculture, even if there seems to be plenty of space available to live in.
inefficient farmers or farmers that are out of work.
too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture
too many people for the available resources, particularly in regards to agricultural land.
a large number of farmers, although the number of farmers is not as great as the number of people living in the cities.
A country that has undergone a full demographic transition has
a higher birth rate and a lower death rate.
a lower birth rate and a higher death rate.
a lower birth rate, a lower death rate, and it has undergone significant economic growth.
a higher birth rate and a lower death rate, and it is about to undergo industrialization.
Which stage of the demographic transition has a population explosion.
stage 1
stage 2
stage 3
stage 4
For most of humanity's history, the population of the world was in stage 2 of the demographic transition.
The physiological densities of both Bangladesh and the Netherlands are high, but the Dutch have a much lower agricultural density than the Bangladeshi. Geographers conclude that
both the Dutch and Bangladeshi put heavy pressure on the land to produce food
the Dutch agricultural system utilizes fewer farmers than does the Bangladeshi system
both are correct
both are wrong
The Netherlands has a much higher physiological density than does India but a much lower agricultural density. This difference demonstrates that, compared to India, the Dutch have extremely limited arable land to meet the needs of their population.
Malthus theory - food supply increases arithmetically and population increases geometrically.
Today: 1 person, 1 unit of food
25 years from now: 2 persons, 2 units of food
50 years from now:
3 persons, 3 units of food
4 persons, 3 units of food
3 persons, 4 units of food
4 persons, 4 units of food

Agricultural Revolution
Industrial Revolution
Medical Revolution
all are correct
The doubling time of a population can be estimated by taking the number 70 and dividing it by the annual percentage growth rate.

Physiological density is the number of
farmers per area of farmland.
acres of farmland per the total area of a country.
people per area of flat land.
