geography international development international development and world population and its impact on resources population growth and impact on resources reproductive health in humans

  1. sparsely populated

  2. moderately populated

  3. aggressively populated

  4. densely populated

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The term 'sparse' means scattered, thus, sparsely populated means a small number of people living over an area. If the population density of a particular area remains less than 50 persons per sq. km than that area is said to be sparsely populated. 

Regions of low density: Canada and Australia are large in area but have small populations. These countries have a low or sparse population density.

Density of population can be divided into _____________.

geography international development international development and world population and its impact on resources population growth and impact on resources reproductive health in humans

  1. regions of high density

  2. regions of low density

  3. regions of moderate density

  4. all of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The density of the population is expressed as the number of persons per unit area. It helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of the population concerning land. The density of population can be divided into:

  1. Regions of high density: Some countries have large populations living in a small area. In Bangladesh, people are packed more closely together. Countries like this have a high population density or a dense population. 
  2. Regions of low density: Canada and Australia are large in area but have small populations. These countries have a low or sparse population density.
  3. Regions of moderate density: A moderate population density is somewhere in the middle. These countries average 15 to 150 people per square kilometer. France has 107.8 people per square kilometer, so it has a moderate population density.

Density of population is calculated as __________.

geography international development international development and world population and its impact on resources population growth and impact on resources reproductive health in humans

  1. population divided by the area

  2. area divided by the population

  3. population multiplied by area

  4. population of an area divided by total population

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The density of the population is expressed as the number of persons per unit area. It helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of the population concerning land. To calculate the population density, you will divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers.
