Question

When immigration + natality is greater than emigration + mortality; the population density
Options
A increases
Correct Answer
B decreases
C remains stable
D changes
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Population density changes based on the balance of factors that add individuals (births/natality and immigration) and those that remove them (deaths/mortality and emigration). If additions are greater than removals, the population density will increase.

Hint

If more individuals are being added than are being removed, does the population go up or down?
