2. Using the Growth of the Population Chart, explain population growth by

identifying the largest increases or decreases of population over time. Try

to find out the causes that explain this evolution.

a. Before 1760, what was the birth rate? What was the mortality rate?

What factors explain this data?

b. Between 1760 and 1870, what was the birth rate? What happened

with the mortality rate? What factors explain these trends?

c. Between 1870 and 1950, what happened with the birth rate? What

happened with the death rate? What factors explain these trends?

d. Since 1950 until the present, what has the birth rate been? What has

the mortality rate been? What factors explain these trends?.

3. Using the Growth of the Spanish Population Chart, explain population

growth by identifying the largest increases or decreases of population

over time. Try to find out the causes that explain this evolution.

a. What period had the highest birth rates and mortality rates? What

factors explain these trends?

b. Why was the death rate so high between 1883 and 1888?

c. What happened in 1918 that caused the mortality rate to be so

high? What happened between 1933 and 1943?

d. What happened with the birth rate between 1933 and 1943? What

factors explain this trends?

e. What is the current trend with regards to births and deaths?

f. Compare this graph with the Growth of the Population Chart and

identify the phases with which these changes coincided.
