ADensity will become zeroBDensity will decreaseCDensity will also doubleDDensity will remain unchanged

Question 5ExpertLevel 71

If population increases slightly but area is very large what conclusion about density may be correct?

ADensity will always be very highBDensity may remain lowCDensity will become birth rateDDensity will be unrelated to area

Question 6ExpertLevel 71

Question 9ExpertLevel 71

Which option gives the correct difference between population density and distribution?

ADensity is number per area and distribution is spatial spreadBDensity is language and distribution is foodCDensity is birth and distribution is deathDDensity is mountain and distribution is river

Question 10ExpertLevel 71

Which analysis shows the weakness of only physical determinism?

Question 12ExpertLevel 71

How is the study of population distribution useful in environmental planning?

AIt only decorates mapsBIt helps identify water land and waste pressure in dense areasCIt immediately changes weatherDIt increases number of mountains

Question 13ExpertLevel 71

AOnly district nameBOnly colour of the mapCWater supply flood risk and service arrangementDOnly mountain height

Question 14ExpertLevel 71

Which option gives a possible social challenge of high population density?

ADemand for all services becoming zeroBHigher pressure on schools hospitals and housingCEvery area becoming uninhabitedDAgricultural land always increasing

Question 15ExpertLevel 71
