What is the main difference between growth rate and absolute growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Growth rate is percentage change, while absolute growth is the actual numerical change

Correct answer: A. Absolute growth means the actual number added to or lost from a population during a period. It is found by subtracting the earlier population from the later population. Growth rate expresses that change in relation to the earlier population, usually as a percentage: growth rate = (absolute growth ÷ initial population) × 100. Thus, two places may have the same absolute increase but different growth rates if their starting populations differ. Option B confuses population measures with physical geography. Option C is wrong because number and percentage are different forms of measurement. Option D incorrectly reduces both ideas to births or deaths only.
