1.How many years did it take the human population to increase from 1 billion to 2 billion? Considering how long it took the human population to reach 1 billion, is this pattern consistent with an exponential growth model?
2. How fast is the human population currently increasing? What kind of growth does this indicate the human population is experiencing currently? Does this rate represent an increase or decrease from previous growth rates?
3. Is our current population level creating problems with available space? Why or why not?
Review
