Question

A geographer is researching sustainability in a region with an emphasis on the food supply. Which methods of calculating population density would this researcher want to compare in her analysis? Select the two correct answers. (1 point) Responses arithmetic density and agricultural distribution arithmetic density and agricultural distribution physiological density and arithmetic density physiological density and arithmetic density arithmetic density and agricultural density arithmetic density and agricultural density physiological density and agricultural density physiological density and agricultural density agricultural density and physiological distribution

Answer 1

In researching sustainability with an emphasis on the food supply, the geographer would want to compare the following methods of calculating population density:

1. **Physiological density and agricultural density**: This comparison would help understand how much arable land is available relative to the population and how effectively that land can sustain the populace.

2. **Arithmetic density and agricultural density**: This would provide insights into the overall population relative to land area and how that population relates to the agricultural land specifically.

Therefore, the correct answers are:

- physiological density and agricultural density
- arithmetic density and agricultural density
