If the population is growing quickly in a small area, than the ___must be increasing as well.
olganol [36]

Answer:

Population density.

Explanation:

Population density is a statistical data that allows graphing the number of people living in a given territory, dividing the number of inhabitants of that territory by its size, usually in square kilometers or square miles.

Thus, the more the population increases in a territory, the more its population density will increase. An example of territories with a high population density is Hong Kong, with about 7,000 inhabitants per square kilometer, while an example of a nation with a low population density is Canada, with 4 inhabitants per square kilometer.

What best describes convergent plate boundaries and what geologic structure does
Law Incorporation [45]

Explanation: At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.
