    If a country has a triangle population pyramid what does this tell you? 

    • Its a developed country

    • Its a developing country

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. Its a developing country
    Explanation
    A triangle population pyramid indicates that the country has a high proportion of young people and a relatively low proportion of elderly people. This suggests that the country has a high birth rate and a lower life expectancy, which are characteristics commonly associated with developing countries. In contrast, developed countries typically have a more rectangular or inverted pyramid shape, reflecting a lower birth rate and a longer life expectancy.

    What is the name of the nationwide survey that is given out every 5 years? 

    • Australian population survey

    • Survey

    • Population test

    • Census

    Correct Answer
    A. Census
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Census." The census is a nationwide survey that is conducted every 5 years to gather information about the population of a country. It collects data on various demographic factors such as age, gender, occupation, and ethnicity. The purpose of the census is to provide an accurate count of the population and to help governments make informed decisions regarding public services, resource allocation, and policy planning.

    Australians population density is high compared to other countries.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is "Australians population density is high compared to other countries." The correct answer is False. This means that the population density in Australia is not high compared to other countries. The explanation could be that Australia is a large country with a relatively small population. It has a land area of about 7.7 million square kilometers, but its population is around 25 million people. This results in a relatively low population density compared to countries with smaller land areas and larger populations.

    What type of birth rate does a developing country have?

    • Low

    • None

    • High

    • Normal

    Correct Answer
    A. High
    Explanation
    A developing country typically has a high birth rate. This is because developing countries often have higher fertility rates due to factors such as limited access to contraception, lower levels of education and healthcare, and cultural norms that encourage larger families. These factors contribute to a higher number of births per woman in developing countries compared to developed countries.

  • 8. 

    About 85% of Australians live within 50km of what? 

    • The coast

    • A city

    • A farm

    • New Zeland

    Correct Answer
    A. The coast
    Explanation
    Approximately 85% of Australians live within 50km of the coast. This is because Australia is an island continent with a vast coastline, and many cities and towns are located along the coast. The coast offers various economic opportunities, such as fishing, tourism, and trade, making it attractive for people to settle there. Additionally, the coastal areas often have milder climates and access to beautiful beaches, which further contributes to their popularity as residential areas.

  • 9. 

     In 2004 Australias population density was about ___ per square km.

    • 2.6

    • 3.2

    • 4.4

    • 6.2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.6
    Explanation
    In 2004, Australia's population density was approximately 2.6 people per square kilometer. This means that on average, there were 2.6 individuals living in every square kilometer of land in Australia during that year. This indicates that Australia has a relatively low population density, with vast areas of uninhabited or sparsely populated land.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Why is the population density in Australia low? 

    • Big cities.

    • Not many people in Australia.

    • Big deserts where nobody lives.

    • The population density is high.

    Correct Answer
    A. Big deserts where nobody lives.
    Explanation
    The population density in Australia is low because of the presence of big deserts where nobody lives. These deserts, such as the Great Victoria Desert and the Great Sandy Desert, cover a significant portion of the country and are inhospitable for human habitation due to extreme temperatures, lack of water, and limited resources. As a result, the majority of the Australian population is concentrated in the coastal areas and big cities, leaving vast stretches of uninhabited desert regions with very low population density.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What must the birth rate be to replace each generation? 

    • 1.2

    • 1.5

    • 2.1

    • 3.0

    Correct Answer
    A. 2.1
    Explanation
    To replace each generation, the birth rate must be 2.1. This means that on average, each woman needs to have 2.1 children in order to maintain a stable population size. If the birth rate is lower than 2.1, the population will decline over time, and if it is higher, the population will grow.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What shape should a population pyramid be of a developed country?

    • Triangle

    • Diamond

    • Square

    Correct Answer
    A. Square
    Explanation
    A square-shaped population pyramid indicates a developed country. In such a pyramid, the number of people in each age group is relatively equal, suggesting a stable population with low birth and death rates. This shape is characteristic of countries with advanced healthcare systems, high life expectancies, and low fertility rates. The square shape reflects a balanced distribution of the population across different age groups, indicating a mature and developed society.
