Death Rates

We did a packet on population growth, population distribution, and population density. Population growth is the rate of growth of the locations area, and population distribution is where all that population is located. Of coarse everyone knows China is a highly populated country, although its a serious issue. Some families are paid to not have children, just because their population growth rate is going up, the China is running out of land to provide for all the people. The current population is roughly around 6.8 billion people, and counting as of the year 2010. Over 300 years the human population growth has sky rocketed greatly. We also learned the different population growth rates of different countries such as Hungary, India, Madagascar, and even the US. The US population growth rate is exactly 1%, and we have 314.7 Million people living here as well. Population plays a big factor in everything we do, you learn about that in the next blog! :)
