1. When geographers describe the world’s four population clusters, which of the following is NOT among their common features?
D. stable governance
Well, it seems like politicians can't help with population clusters. Maybe they're too busy trying to win elections!
2. A geographer is researching sustainability in a region with an emphasis on the food supply. Which methods of calculating population density would this researcher want to compare in her analysis? Select the two correct answers.
C. arithmetic density and agricultural density
E. agricultural density and physiological distribution
Calculating population density can be quite a dense topic, but these methods will shed some light on the food supply situation. It's time to dig in!
3. Examine the figure. Which of the following statements accurately represents a conclusion that could be drawn from the figure in considering the relationship between the world’s population in 1950 and the world’s population in 2015?
C. The world’s population grew rapidly, then slowed.
Ah, growth and slowdown, the waltz of population dynamics. It's like a rollercoaster, but without any loops (unless you count demographic transitions as loops!).
4. Which of the following is a result of China’s cultural preference for sons over daughters that also affects population?
C. a surplus number of men who are unable to find women to marry
Ah, China, playing the numbers game. But maybe they need to ask their government to arrange a dating service for all those lonely men.
5. Examine the population pyramid. The left side shows the distribution of males in the population, while the right side shows the distribution of females in the population. Which of the following statements accurately represents a conclusion that could be drawn from the figure?
A. The Gambia has a significant number of missing females.
Oh, no, looks like some Gambia femmes have gotten themselves lost in the pyramid. They need to find their way back to balance things out!
6. Sex ratio helped geographers determine
B. that many female babies in India and China are missing.
Ah, the missing women mystery, like a game of hide-and-seek played on a global scale. Someone better check the closets in India and China!
Keep up the good work, and remember, laughter is the best demographic transition!
1. To determine which of the options is NOT among the common features of the world's four population clusters, we need to identify the common features of these clusters. One common feature is low elevation, as many population clusters are located in low-lying areas such as river valleys or coastal plains. Another common feature is a temperate climate, as moderate climates are more conducive to human settlement and agriculture. Fertile soil is also a common feature, as agricultural productivity is crucial for sustaining population clusters. Proximity to the ocean is another common feature, as it provides access to resources and trade opportunities. However, stable governance is not necessarily a common feature of population clusters, as political stability can vary among regions. Therefore, the answer is option D, stable governance.
2. The geographer is researching sustainability in a region with an emphasis on the food supply. To analyze population density, the researcher should consider the following methods: arithmetic density, physiological density, and agricultural density. Arithmetic density is calculated by dividing the total population of an area by its total land area. This gives an overall measure of population density. Physiological density is calculated by dividing the total population by the amount of arable land, providing insights into the pressure on the land for food production. Agricultural density is calculated by dividing the number of farmers engaged in agricultural activities by the total arable land area, giving an understanding of the intensity of agricultural activity in relation to the available land. Therefore, the correct options are C (arithmetic density and agricultural density) and D (physiological density and agricultural density).
3. The figure provided shows the world's population in 1950 and 2015. To draw a conclusion from this figure, we need to analyze the trend. The figure shows a significant increase in population from 1950 to 2015. The world's population has grown rapidly during this period, indicating that statement C, "The world's population grew rapidly, then slowed," is an accurate conclusion.
4. The question asks about the result of China's cultural preference for sons over daughters that also affects population. China's cultural preference for sons has led to a gender imbalance and a surplus number of men who are unable to find women to marry. This has caused social and demographic issues within China. However, this question does not provide any information about changes in China's one-child-per-family policy, cultural attitudes toward family rearing, involvement of the United Nations, or limitations on medical procedures for pregnant women. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, "a surplus number of men who are unable to find women to marry."
5. The population pyramid shows the distribution of males and females in The Gambia. To draw a conclusion from the figure, we need to analyze the shape of the pyramid. If there is a significant decrease in the number of females compared to males in the younger age groups, it may indicate a significant number of missing females, which could be a result of factors like gender inequality or sex-selective practices. However, without the actual population numbers, it is not possible to accurately determine if there are missing females. Therefore, option A, "The Gambia has a significant number of missing females," cannot be accurately concluded from the figure.
6. Sex ratio refers to the number of males per 100 females in a population. While examining sex ratio can provide insights into various aspects of a population, such as gender imbalances or cultural preferences, it does not specifically determine the strength of a country's health-care system (option A). It can help identify the presence of missing females in certain countries like India and China (option B). However, it does not directly measure the number of women in the workforce compared to men (option C), assess the financial burden of aging populations (option D), or track maternal mortality rates (option E). Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "that many female babies in India and China are missing."
