Question

which of the following factors would affect population distribution but not size in a given country?​

Answer 1

Answer: Option B) individuals moving from one region of the country to another region of the same country.

Explanation:

All the other options affect the size of population in that:

- increased death rate

It reduces the total number of individuals living at a point in time

- individuals moving from this country to another country i.e Emigration

Of course, the total number of individuals reduces as some move out of a country

- increased birth rate

This raises the total number of individuals living at a point in time.

On the other hand, the distribution of individuals in a population is affected by the movement from one region of the country to another region of the same country. For instance: the movement from rural areas to urban areas affects only the distribution of people not the size of the population.
