Explain a factor that accounts for contemporary population growth.
AURORKA [14]

The factors that accounted for the population growth are birth date, death rate, immigration, and emigration.

The following information should be considered:

  • The birth date deals with the no of babies born at the particular time period. If there is an increase in the birth rate, so the population should increase and vice versa.
  • The death rate deals with the no of deaths during a particular time period. If the death rate is increased so the population should decrease and vice versa.
  • Immigration deals with the movement of the people are in the place. If immigration is increased so the population should be high.
  • Emigration means the movement of the people that are out of the place. If it is increased so the population is decreased.

Therefore we can conclude that the factors that accounted for the population growth are birth date, death rate, immigration, and emigration.

Compared with surface currents, deep currents are a. colder and less dense. c. warmer and denser. b. warmer and less dense. d. c
Effectus [21]

The correct answer is - d. colder and denser.

The main differences between the surface currents and deeper currents are the temperature and density, and that actually decides their position in the water, on the surface, or deeper.

The surface currents are warmer, and because they are warmer the molecules are much more loose, so the density is lower, which in return makes it easier, thus it is in the surface.

The deeper currents are colder, and because they are colder the molecules are much closer and more concentrated, so the density is higher, which means that they are heavier, thus fall deeper below the easier currents.
