Populations
What generally happens to death rates as a country moves from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of the Demographic Transition Model?
They increase.
They fluctuate unpredictably.
They decrease.
They remain steady.
During which stage of the Demographic Transition Model do both birth rates and death rates decrease, leading to a decreasing growth rate?
Pre-industrial stage
Stage 3
Industrial stage
Stage 5
What is typically true about the birth rate during the third stage of demographic transition?
It begins to fall.
It increases rapidly.
It remains constant.
It becomes zero.
What is a likely impact of sea-level rise induced by climate change on coastal populations' demographics?
Increased job opportunities resulting from expanded maritime industries.
Displacement leading to increased migration from low-lying coastal areas.
Strengthened economies due to maritime trade growth benefiting adjacent port cities.
Decreased threat of storm surges due to enhanced natural barriers like mangrove forests.
Which stage of the demographic transition model is characterized by low growth due to low birth and death rates?
Stage four
Stage two
Stage one
Stage three
During which stage of the Demographic Transition Model does the most rapid population growth occur?
Stage One
Stage Four
Stage Two
Stage Three
Which stage of the demographic transition is characterized by low birth rates and low death rates?
Stage 4
Stage 3
Stage 1
Stage 2

Considering demographic transitions associated with economic development, how does climate change most likely exacerbate urban environmental issues?
Increased heat island effect intensifying energy demands for cooling in cities.
Improved public health outcomes due to diminished vector-borne disease spread in cooler climates within cities.
Reduced dependence on fossil fuels as warmer climates decrease heating needs substantially.
Enhanced carbon sequestration from urban greening initiatives improving air quality significantly.
What is a potential consequence of climate change on food security related to shifts in agricultural zones?
Desertification decreases, expanding arable land around equatorial regions.
Crop yields may decline as optimal growing areas move poleward.
Genetically modified crops become unnecessary for maintaining yields.
Agricultural productivity universally increases due to longer growing seasons.
During which stage of the demographic transition model does a country experience high birth rates and high death rates?
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 1
Stage 2
