Observe the given figure representing different are pyramids for human population answer the following question. |
If the reproduction rate is equal in all the given pyramids, the chances of mortality after 50 years will be highest in: |
E F Both E and F D |
D |
The correct answer is Option (4) → D Expanding population pyramid A population pyramid that is very wide at the younger ages, with a high birth rate and perhaps low life expectancy therefore leading to high death rate.The population is said to be fast-growing, and the size of each birth cohort increases each year. Stable population pyramid A pyramid can be described as stationary if the percentages of population (age and sex) remain approximately constant over time.In a stationary population, the numbers of births and death roughly balance one another. Declining population pyramid A population pyramid that is narrowed at the bottom. The population is generally older on average.Urn-shaped age pyramids exhibit low numbers or percentages of pre-reproductive individuals, a maximum number of individuals in the reproductive age group, and a small number of individuals in the post-reproductive age group. Such a population is considered to decline. Representation of age pyramids for human population |
