Population
Today in class we talked about increasing populations, and decreasing populations. We looked at Japan, Canada, Russia, and of course, Murica'. We learned about why America had such an odd looking age group pyramid. On America's pyramid, there was a sudden bulge right at about the 50 y/o age group. This was due to the baby boom right after WWII. Mr.Schick told us he was part of that age group which blew my mind. I would have thought Mr.Schick had just turned 40, not 50-something. We then talked about Japan and how it actually has a negative population growth due to better educated adults.
- According to the Population Reference Bureau's "2013 World Population Data Sheet", 271 are born every minute, and 106 die every minute. That's a global net population increase of 165 per minute. This lesson was published on May 5th. What's the estimated global population increase exactly one week later (May 12th)? A: over 10 million B: 20,739 C: 1155 D: 1,663,200
- As a country slows in population growth, its pyramid shape will A: become wider at the base and narrower at the top B: be inverted C: become more rectangular D: bulge in the middle
- What does a Population Pyramid NOT give you information about? A: birth rates B: actual number of people C: life expectancy D: death rates
- Which continent would have the most fast-growth pyramids? A: Africa B: Asia C: North America D: South America
