Question

Using your understanding of how to analyze population pyramids, which analysis of a stationary population pyramid is correct? (1 point) Responses The birth rate is significantly higher than the death rate. The birth rate is significantly higher than the death rate. The older generation makes up a greater percentage than the younger generation. The older generation makes up a greater percentage than the younger generation. The younger generations are replacing the older generations at an equal rate. The younger generations are replacing the older generations at an equal rate. There is a low life expectancy for the population.

Answer 1

The correct analysis of a stationary population pyramid is: The younger generations are replacing the older generations at an equal rate.

A stationary population pyramid typically shows stable birth and death rates, resulting in a population that maintains its size over time. This means that the birth rate is approximately equal to the death rate, allowing younger generations to replace older ones without significant growth or decline in the overall population. The other statements do not accurately describe the characteristics of a stationary population pyramid.
