Recap – population change NC = BR – DR +/- M
Rapidly Decreasing Death Rate Rapid Growth (early expanding) + High birth rate Rapid Growth (early expanding)
Stable/limited growth (high stationary) High death rate + High birth rate Stable/limited growth (high stationary)
Negative growth (natural decrease) Falling birth rate + Very low death rate Negative growth (natural decrease)
Crude Death rate is… The answer is ‘b’ a) Total population /deaths x 100 b) The number of deaths per 1000 of population c) The estimated death rate d) Deaths related to crude oil The answer is ‘b’
A high fertility rate would mean…. a) A high number of births b) Crude birth rate is higher than crude death rate c) People are living longer on average d) Better soil means people have better nutrition The answer is ‘a’
The answer is ‘b’ Which of the following continents is this statement most likely to apply to “Due to high levels of medical cover, nutrition and education, death rates remain very low. Birth rates are very low due to social preference and growing numbers choosing to start families later in life” a) South America b) Europe c) Asia d) Africa The answer is ‘b’
The answer is ‘d’ Which of the following continents is this statement most likely to apply to “Death rates are high and the continent is often affected by war, disease and malnutrition.

Top tips Date your notes for reference in test preparation. Leave wide margins and don’t crowd your lines together. Never mind if you use a whole line for just one work. Plenty of white space is important in order to show the relationships of ideas to each other. Use notetaking shorthand to reduce as many ideas as possible. Reduce to essential words - don’t use complete sentences. Use symbols as a substitute for words. Abbreviate by using initials, half words, creative spelling. Don’t take too many notes. Do more listening than writing. Don’t try to take down everything.
