Ch. 2 Key Issue #1 QUIZ – Most Missed

Ch. 2 Key Issue #1 QUIZ – Most Missed1. One important feature of the world’s population with the most significant future

implications is that:a. the natural increase rate is larger every yearb. there are fewer people in the world now than at the peak of the middle of the

twentieth centuryc. the most rapid growth is occurring in the less developed countriesd. people are uniformly distributed across Earthe. the less developed countries have the highest combined crude death rate

2. Geographers define overpopulation as:a. Too many people in the worldb. Too many people compared to resourcesc. Too many people in a regiond. All of the abovee. A and C

13. If the physiological density is much larger than the arithmetic density, then a country has:a. Inefficient farmersb. A large number of farmersc. A small percentage of land suitable for agricultured. Too many people for the available resourcese. Too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture
