The graph shows the world human population size and growth rate over time. How are the two sets of data related to each other? What does studying one data set tell you about the other?
Visit the website of the Population Reference Bureau, www.prb.org (Links to an external site.). Find the most recent “World Population Data Sheet” under the Data section. Choose two nations to compare with respect to: birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate, rate of population growth, and/or other data indicators of interest to you. What do these data tell you about the health of the populations of these countries?

In the year 1500, there were more than 2 billion people on earth. Saying that, "the recent rise in population is due to better farming" is an observation_ Saying that, the recent rise in population is due to better medicine" is an inference.

- Find a reference to the carrying capacity of Earth (for humans). It needs to be some estimate of the number of people that scientists estimate the earth can support. Note: this is NOT an estimate of what the population will be in the future; but rather what the earth is predicted to be able to support. BE CREATIVE and search more than one source. You will not receive credit if your summary covers the fırst article I see when I google this topic. In Canvas provide: • The estimated carrying capacity • Group/researcher who reported this estimate • How the group/researcher estimated carrying capacity (what variables were used) • Whether you think this is a reasonable estimate, and why or why not.
