### exponential curve:

Population growth
* Most population growth affects bear habitats
  - has social consequences
  - increases ability
  - is in the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America
  - occurs in years
* Some population growth depends on functions
  - intensity
* Some population growth impedes economic development
  - sustainable economic development
  - involves interaction
* Some population growth leads to degradations
  - depletion
  - occurs in summer
  - political issues such as land use, water distribution, education and food
* brings demands for more water.
* causes the appearance of more low-frequency variants.
* continues to be a problem in spite of recent declines in the birth rate.
* creates new economic opportunities and markets.
* declines because of death rate increase, birth rate decrease or both.
* depends on the rates of reproduction and mortality
  - upon certain natural resources of which water is the most important
* direct result of space available.
* drives urban sprawl which adversely affects our lives in a variety of ways.
* exacerbates every environment and most social problems.
* factor that has an indirect affect on the destruction of the rain forest.
* forces the people to move to the rainforest.
* fundamental force underlying all others.
* global problem and it has to be tackled on a global basis.
* has consequences
  - long-term benefits, though added people are a burden in the short run
  - nothing to do with economic growth
* impacts natural resources.
  - national geopolitical stresses both internally and externally
* increases the burden on sewage treatment plants
  - demand for automobile transportation
* is about more than the environment, of course
  - also responsible for the loss of farmland all over the world
  - among a handful of underlying causes leading to biodiversity loss
* is an exponential curve
  - issue that people often don t like to talk about
  - certainly one of the key problems facing developing countries
  - concentrated among adults in their thirties and forties, and the elderly
  - considered the most serious long-term problem for the environment
  - controlled by using cerebral transfer to create new androids
  - determined by each city's nutrient total
  - directly responsible for unsustainable demand for resources
  - encouraged for greater profits in the expanding global economy
  - moderate due to very low fertility rates
  - most rapid in the economically underdeveloped arid and semi-arid regions
* is one of the factors contributing to global warming
  - leading contributors to environmental degradation around the world
  - part of the complex process of modernization and development
  - reduced by external migration
* is the first driving force of global change
  - highest in the Arab world
  - most important factor in the growth of domestic food demand
  - other key factor leading to urban sprawl
  - predominant cause of urban sprawl
  - primary driving force extending and intensifying environmental degradation
  - result of the plunging death rate and increasing life expectancy worldwide
  - single largest determinant of future food needs
* leads to increased levels of resource depletion and population
* major concern for many countries around the world
  - factor in road hazards and congestion
* makes urban civilization possible.
* makes waves in the distribution of pairwise differences
  - pairwise genetic differences
* occurs in two ways, births and immigration
* power function.
* reaches plateaus.
* reflects food constraints, disease and parental preferences.
* remains the driving force for growth in world rice consumption.
* slows down year after year.
* taxes the earth's natural systems.
* tends to overwhelm any possible gains made in improving the human condition.
* translates into more children participating in athletics.
