  1. 2. The scientific study of human populations, including their sizes, compositions, distributions, densities, growth, and other characteristics, as well as the causes and consequences of changes in these factors.
  2. 4. is a measurement of the number of people in an area. It is an average number.
  3. 7. is the movement of individuals into a population from other areas. This increases the population size and growth rate.
  4. 9. is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption.
  5. 11. is the movement of individuals out of a population. This decreases the population size and growth rate.
  6. 13. The average number of additional years a person could expect to live if current mortality trends were to continue for the rest of that person’s life. Most commonly cited as life expectancy at birth.
  7. 14. The number of people added to (or subtracted from) a population in a year due to natural increase and net migration expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of the time period.
  8. 15. the movement of individual organisms into, or out of, a population.

  1. 1. The way in which people are spread across a given area.
  2. 3. also known as a flow resource, is a natural resource which will replenish to replace the portion depleted by usage and consumption, either through natural reproduction or other recurring processes in a finite amount of time in a human time scale.
  3. 5. A canvass of a given area, resulting in an enumeration of the entire population and often the compilation of other demographic, social, and economic information pertaining to that population at a specific time.
  4. 6. The number of live births per 1,000 population in a given year.
  5. 8. The number of deaths per 1,000 population in a given year.
  6. 10. is a process that creates growth, progress, positive change or the addition of physical, economic, environmental, social and demographic components.
  7. 12. The size of a country’s population can grow as a result of a natural increase or net emigration. A natural increase occurs when the birth rate exceeds the death rate.
