The factors that have contributed to Earth’s population growth include:
1. **Greater birth rate than death rate** - This is a primary factor as it indicates that more people are being born than are dying, leading to an overall increase in population.
2. **Doubling time** - This refers to the time it takes for a population to double in size. A shorter doubling time indicates rapid population growth, especially in the context of high birth rates and lower death rates.
If "increasing" was meant to refer to something specific (such as increasing resources, advancements in medicine, improvements in agriculture, etc.), and it can be linked to population growth, it can also be considered a contributing factor, as various advancements allow for larger populations to be sustained.
If you need clarity on these factors or how they interact, feel free to ask!
