  1. Ch. 2 Key Issue #1 QUIZ – Most Missed 1. One important feature of the world’s population with the most significant future implications is that: • the natural increase rate is larger every year • there are fewer people in the world now than at the peak of the middle of the twentieth century • the most rapid growth is occurring in the less developed countries • people are uniformly distributed across Earth • the less developed countries have the highest combined crude death rate 2. Geographers define overpopulation as: • Too many people in the world • Too many people compared to resources • Too many people in a region • All of the above • A and C 13. If the physiological density is much larger than the arithmetic density, then a country has: • Inefficient farmers • A large number of farmers • A small percentage of land suitable for agriculture • Too many people for the available resources • Too few farmers for the large area of land suitable for agriculture

  2. Ch. 2 Key Issue #2 Where Has the World’s Population Increased? Natural Increase (NIR) – (CBR – CDR = NIR) Fertility (TFR) Mortality (CDR)

  3. The Alphabet Soup of Demography • CBR • CDR • NIR • ZPG • TFR • DR • DTM • ETM • DT • IMR • LE • MMR • SR

Population Reference Bureau (PRB) • Log in to computer • Go to Mr. Lloyd’s Human Geo. wiki page • Scroll down to “Population Reference Bureau” link • You can “Download PowerPoint Presentation” or play “Webinar Presentation” • Complete Questions from PowerPoint slides – they go in order and # of slide where answer is found is in ( ) after questions • Or you can open Internet Explorer and enter address: • http://www.prb.org/Publications/Datasheets/2011/world-population-data-sheet/Webinar.aspx

  5. What is the approximate annual rate of natural increase for the global population? Population Explosion

  6. Global Population Growth • Exponential Growth of Population • Folding a paper to the moon • The Limits to Growth • 7 Billion and Counting • Hans Rosling - Box by box • The Demographic Winter

  7. Where are most of the countries with the highest rates of natural increase? The lowest?

  8. Crude Birth Rates • Why are birth and death rates referred to as “crude”? • Where would countries with the lowest crude birth rates be found? The highest? • If a country’s crude birth rate is declining its __________________ is increasing? • What is the world’s current doubling time?

  9. What is considered to be the replacement level for total fertility rates? What does that mean? • Where would one find the highest total fertility rates? The lowest? Why?

  10. Where are the countries with the highest infant mortality rates? How does this affect those countries? • In what areas have the greatest decreases in infant mortality rates occurred? • What are some common characteristics of places with low infant mortality rates?

  11. Where are the lowest life expectancy rates found? • What do countries with high life expectancy have in common?

  12. What factors would cause countries to have the lowest crude death rates? • Why do so many African countries, despite the youthfulness of their populations, have such high death rates?

  13. What is the single greatest health disparity between developed and developing countries?

  14. Where is “overpopulation” a problem? • What is overpopulation? • Who is overpopulated? WHY?

  15. Global Warming, Global Climate Change, Global Climate Destabilization?

  16. “Before the Next Doubling”http://slloyd.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/Human+Geography • _________________________ is the rate at which a population will stabilize, generally considered to be two children per family. • _________________________ is the term that refers to the number of years that will pass before the global population increases by 100 percent at its current rate of growth. • The Mexico City Policy is a policy that would end or restrict U.S. funding for any organization that in any way contributed to the practice of _________________________. • The ____________________________ was a meeting of 180 nations in 1994 that resulted in a long-term reproductive health plan to slow population growth based on increasing the status of women. • According to the article, the most significant factor in population growth, and the hardest one to counter is _______________________________________________.
