Question

Human population growth curve is a ______.

Options

• J-shaped curve

• zig-zag curve

• parabola curve

• S-shaped curve

Answer 1

Human population growth curve is a J-shaped curve.

Explanation:

The human population growth curve is J-shaped because it initially shows a slow growth phase, followed by an exponential or rapid increase without a plateau. This curve represents exponential growth where resources are not limiting. However, generally, the characteristic growth pattern of the human population is described as J-shaped due to its rapid and continuous rise over time under favorable conditions.
