(a)
To determine: The problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.

Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.
To determine: The greater threat of the problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries and industrialized nations.
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.

- Some people believe our most important goal should be to sharply reduce the rate of population growth in developing countries where 97% of the world’s population growth is expected to take place. Others argue that the most serious environmental problems stem from high levels of resource consumption per person in developed countries, which use 88% of the world’s resources and have much larger ecological footprints per person than do developing countries. What is your view on this issue? Explainarrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Which of the following hypotheses is both acceptable and properly stated with regard to the question, "why do turtles gather near the bridges on Richland Campus?". Choose the best hypothesis. Are the turtles being fed by students on the bridge? O The turtles enjoy spending time near the bridge. O The turtles idolize the bridge. The turtles come to the bridge due to shade provided. QUESTION 28 A scientific theory is an idea that hasn't been supported by much evidence. O True O Falsearrow_forwardChoose the statement that is most likely made by an environmentalist rather than by an environmental scientist. "On average, 52 animal species move one step closer to extinction each year because of overpopulation and habitat destruction.” “Human population growth is a current environmental issue, as is climate change.” “When the number of existing humans exceeds the carrying capacity of the planet, we have reached the state of overpopulation.” “Citizens must take matters into their own hands and start having fewer children to reduce the world’s population, starting now.”arrow_forward
- Unit #5: Ecology and Evolution World’s average ecological footprint = 2.84 gha/person (world total: 20.1 billion gha used/year) World’s biocapacity = 1.73 gha/person (12.2 billion in total) What does this mean? Under what circumstances might investigators choose to do one type of analysis versus the other (mtDNA vs. Y chromosome DNA)?arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide and climate changed Describe 3 important changes that need to take place in order for the world to sustain up to 11 billion people by the end of the century?arrow_forwardMost biologists and climatologists agree that the earth is warming, why do people disregard the evidence for global warming?

Florida's climate is warm and humid with an abundance of solar energy. The state is surrounded by ocean water and has fertile soil great for farming fruits and vegetables. Half of Florida's land is covered by trees, ideal for wildlife habitats and the production of paper products. Florida has a rich source of mineral deposits including: limestone, phosphate, and silicon deposits. Florida is also a source of natural gas and oil. Which of the following is a nonrenewable resource found in the State of Florida? A solar energy B pine trees phosphate orange treesarrow_forward
