The graph shows the world human population size and growth rate over time. How are the two sets of data related to each other? What does studying one data set tell you about the other?
How would you describe human population growth for the past 200 years. When determining Earth’s carrying capacity for humans, why is it not enough to just consider human numbers? What will happen if there is a rapid growth in human population? What solutions do you have in mind to limit the human population growth?
According to Worldometers, in late November, 2018, the U.S. population was 327,726,061 and the world population was estimated at 7,666,602,725. Considering those numbers, do you think the United States is in a population crisis? Do we have enough land and resources to support a continuous increase in population? Should we, as a nation, concentrate on controlling our population or controlling resource use? Why, or why not?
The world population reached seven billion in 2011. At current growth rate, it is expected to reach eight billion by 2024 and nine billion by 2037. However, many projections predict that the world population will level off at around 9 billion individuals. Why is the world population expected to level off?
The graph shows the worldwide human population from 1950 to 2050. Data for the future years are predictions. According to the ideas of Thomas Malthus, what are the predicted changes to the human population after 2050? A. The population would continue to increase at the same rate, due to constant food supplies. B. The population would increase more rapidly, due to advances in technology. C. Eventually the population would stop increasing or would decrease, due to lack of food and living space. D. Eventually the population would decrease to zero, because of war, famine, or disease.
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Some people regardthe rapid population growth of less industrialized countries asour most serious environmental problem. Others think that thepopulation growth in industrialized countries, though smaller,is actually a greater environmental threat. What problems resultfrom population growth in (a) less industrialized countriesand (b) industrialized nations? Which do you think is a greaterthreat, and why?
Human Population What is the reason for human population growth? What does Demography study? How to limit human population growth?
Some demographers claim that the total world population has already begun to slow, while others dispute this claim. How would you recognize a true demographic transition as opposed in mere random fluctuations in birth and death rates?
Which of the following stages of human population growth was characterized by extremely slow growth rates (about 0.0001% per year), and ranged from only 10,000 to over 5 million individuals? A. stage I (hunter/gatherer societies, without agriculture or machine industries) B. stage I (agricultural societies, without machine industries) C. stage III (industrial societies, but without widespread computer technology) D. stage IV (modern societies, with computer technology) E. all of the above
Do you think there are environmental limits to human population growth? If so, how close do you think we are to such limits? Explain.
several years ago wolves were reintroduced in to a national park in North Carolina. Researchers have monitored the populations over the last several years and the per capita growth rate of the population is.5. If the current population size is 100, what equation would you use to determine how large he population will be in ten yearS? N/t *r N(1+r)^t (N*r)/t please highlight the answer
In terms of the human population of the Earth, what factors might impact human population growth over the next century? Our current system of agriculture depends extensively on inexpensive fossil fuels and is likely to be impacted by climate change by the late 21st century. Declining birthrates, especially in the developing world, are likely to bring the human race to the brink of extinction. Soon, there will not be enough room for humans to live. The human population will likely continue to increase exponentially for centuries.
