High birth rate to compensate
for high infant mortality,
Population growth is slow,
No countries are currently in
this stage
What is pre-industrial?
An upside down pyramid indicates that a population is doing this.
What is decreasing?
All living and non-living things
What is environment?
The maximum number of individuals an environment can support for a long period of time
What is Carrying Capacity?
What is the greatest single factor slowing population growth?
What is family planning?
Declining death rates,
Birth rates remain high,
Population grows quickly
What is transitional?
A pyramid shape indicates that a population is doing this.
What is increasing?

What is a developing country?
Services that arise from the normal functioning of natural services (free services from nature)
What are ecosystem services?
Equation for calculating population's impact?
What is I= PAT?
Impacts = population * affluence * technology
If childbirth is delayed, what does it cause?
What is lower population growth rate?
Birth and death rates are low
and stable,
Population stabilizes or even
shrinks
What is post-industrial?
A age structure shape that has the majority of individuals being middle-aged and very few being very young and very old indicates a population is doing this.
What is remaining stable?
Earth's total wealth of resources (hint. it is being used faster than it is being replenished)
What is natural capital?
number of deaths + number of emigrants > number of births + number of immigrants will cause this to happen to the population.
What is Population decrease?
What leads to greater per capital resource consumption?
What is affluence?
What Demographic Transition is the US categorized in?
What is post-industrial?
These types of countries have low birth rates, low death rates, financial stability, and easy access to health care.
What are developed countries?
The amount of biologically productive land and sea available to us
What is biocapacity?
