Study Notes
World Population Growth
- World population growth has evolved significantly from ancient times to the present.
- Visualizing this growth using a line graph reveals the fluctuations over centuries.
- Early populations were smaller but gradually increased.
- A significant population spike occurred around the Industrial Revolution.
Factors Driving Population Growth
- Increased Food Production: Agricultural advancements like machinery, fertilizers, and new crops enabled feeding a growing population.
- Scientific Developments: Medical advancements, improved sanitation, and food preservation techniques reduced mortality rates and improved health.
- Improved Healthcare: Increased access to medical care, vaccinations, and treatments led to higher life expectancy and reduced mortality.
Birth and Death Rates
- Birth Rates: Measure the number of newborns; high birth rates contribute to population growth.
- Death Rates: Measure deaths; low death rates signal healthier populations.
- Population Growth Rates: Results from the balance between birth and death rates. Positive rates mean population increase, while negative rates mean decline.
