- 1. (c) square kilometre — It is people per square kilometre.
- 2. (d) northern plains — The fertile northern plains are densely populated.
- 3. (a) literacy rate — Literacy is a quality measure, not a process of change.
- 4. (b) thousand — It is per thousand people.
- 5. The number of people living per square kilometre.
- 6. Birth rate, death rate and migration.
- 7. The size of a population changes through three main processes. The first is the birth rate, the number of live births per thousand people in a year; a high birth rate increases the population. The second is the death rate, the number of deaths per thousand people in a year; when the death rate falls, for example because of better healthcare, the population grows. The difference between the birth rate and the death rate is the natural increase of population. The third process is migration, the movement of people into or out of an area. People moving into a region add to its population, while those moving out reduce it. In India, the rapid growth of population over the years has been mainly due to the birth rate remaining higher than the death rate, while migration affects the distribution of people between regions.
