Physical factor affecting on the distribution of population is ______.

Human factor affecting on the distribution of population is ______.

Both birth rates and death rates are high during this phase, so population growth is stable. It is known as______ .

The stage that shows zero growth in population transition theory is ______.

Complete the chain.

Assertion: Areas which have fertile soil have dense population.

Reason: Fertile soils are good for agriculture.

Assertion: Population of a region does not change.

Reason: Birth rate, death rate and migration affect the population of a region.

Assertion: In stage 2, death rate reduces but birth rate is constant.

Reason: The population increases rapidly in stage 2.

Assertion: In second stage, death rate decline but birth rate remains stationary.

Reason: Population increases rapidly in second stage.
