Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.

The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.

The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.

When t < 3, P'' > 0.  

When t = 3, P'' = 0.

When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.

Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

How can islands be created by plate tectonics
Tema [17]
One example is the country of Iceland which is a large island right on the mid-Atlantic ridge which is where the Atlantic oceanic plate is rifted in two and where the underlying magma wells up to the surface as the two sides to the plate move opposite to each other. The resulting volcanic rock then builds itself up into an island.
