Identify and describe the four stages of the demographic transition model
horsena [70]

There's four stages in the classical demographic transition model:

Stage 1 - Pre-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but also the life expectancy is very low, thus the growth of the population is slow.

Stage 2 - Early transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but the life expectancy is increased, so the population grows rapidly.

Stage 3 - Late transition

In this stage, the birth rates decline slightly, and the life expectancy is a bit higher, thus the population growth is slowing down.

Stage 4 - Post-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are declined significantly, the life expectancy is pretty high, so the population is either growing very slowly, or it is declining.

The Mt. St Helens eruption in Washington state m 1980 measured 5 on the volcanic exclusivity index (VEI). Only 57 people died fr
Crank

Answer:

b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.

Explanation:

Many volcanic eruptions don't kill anyone. This is because most active volcanoes are well-known to local residents, who give them appropriate respect.

Lahars are deadly, but so are pyroclastic flows, and releases of ash and/or poison gases. The two deadliest eruptions in recorded history caused death by starvation and tsunami.

The point of the paragraph was that the VEI was <em>not</em> directly related to the number of deaths.
