Which type of diagram is often used to represent age structure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population pyramid

Age structure shows how a population is divided among different age groups. A population pyramid is the diagram most commonly used for this purpose. It usually places age groups vertically and shows males and females on opposite sides, allowing the viewer to compare the number or proportion of people at each age. The outline of the pyramid can also suggest whether a population is young, stable, or ageing.

Option B is correct because a population pyramid directly represents age composition and often sex composition together. A broad base generally indicates many children and a youthful population, while a narrower base may indicate declining fertility. A climograph represents climate, a soil profile represents layers of soil, and a river long profile represents changes in a river channel. None of those diagrams is designed to show the age distribution of people.
