Today Mr. Schick was out today. He was in Maine for a wedding. He made us watch this video the posted on his blog. It was about population pyramids. I found the video very confusing. We have to answer these three questions.
1)According to the Population Reference Bureau's "2013 World Population Data Sheet", 271 are born every minute, and 106 die every minute. That's a global net population increase of 165 per minute. This lesson was published on May 5th. What's the estimated global population increase exactly one week later (May 12th)? A: over 10 million B: 20,739 C: 1155 D: 1,663,200
2). As a country slows in population growth, its pyramid shape will A: become wider at the base and narrower at the top B: be inverted C: become more rectangular D: bulge in the middle
