Quiz Description

In this quiz, we are going to be looking at population theory. We shall go through some concepts like LEDC, migration, population distribution, MEDCs, population density among others. It will be an exciting experience studying this very important section under human and economic geography.

Population could be defined as a distinct group of individuals with shared citizenship, identity, or characteristics. It could also be defined as a group of people that make up a nation or country. For example, as of 2019, the population of China is about 1,444,206,308 as of Wednesday, May 19, 2021. There are some basic concepts on population that we will be looking at. Some are population density which is the number of persons per unit area of land, population distribution which is the way in which individuals are spread across a given geographical area, and many more.

If you are determined to have a full grasp of population theory, here is a solution for you. Take this geography quiz and see your level of understanding.
