Give one word/term for each of the following descriptions by choosing a word/term from the list below. Write only the word/term next to the question number. (1.1.1-1.1.8) in the ANSWER BOOK.

ACTIVITY 1: POPULATION DISTRIBUTION AND DENSITY

• 1.1.1 The number of people that live per square kilometre.
  • Population density
• 1.1.2 The percentage of people that can read and write.
  • Literacy rate
• 1.1.3 The loss of professional people from a country.
  • Brain drain
• 1.1.4 Shows the spread of people over an area.
  • Population distribution
• 1.1.5 The number of children that die per 1 000 people of the population.
  • Infant mortality
• 1.1.6 The average number of years that a person is expected to live.
  • Life expectancy
• 1.1.7 A survey done to count all the people that live in a country.
  • Census
• 1.1.8 The total number of live births per 1 000 people of the population.
  • Birth rate

ACTIVITY 2: Study FIGURE 1.2 and answer the following questions.

• 1.2.1 Developed countries generally have low crude birth rates, low total fertility rates, low crude death rates, low infant mortality rates, and high life expectancy. Developing countries, in contrast, typically have high crude birth rates, high total fertility rates, high crude death rates, high infant mortality rates, and low life expectancy. These differences are often linked to economic development, healthcare, and education levels.

• 1.2.2 The country from FIGURE 1.2 that can be seen as the most developed country is the USA.

• 1.2.3 The population of the USA, as shown in FIGURE 1.2, is approximately 300 million.

• 1.2.4 The two countries in FIGURE 1.2 with the largest population are China and India.

• 1.2.5 Two physical factors that contribute to high population density are:

  • Fertile soils: Areas with rich, productive soil are ideal for agriculture, which can support a large population and lead to high density.
  • Water supply: Regions with abundant and reliable access to fresh water (e.g., near rivers or lakes) are attractive for human settlement and agriculture, fostering higher population densities.
