Damaging Effects of
Cyclone on Houses
Due to the
high wind
pressure and
improper
connection of
the house to
the footings it
can be blown
away.

Landslides
A landslide is an
catastrophic event where a
block of earthen mass
slides downhill.
Cause significant loss of
life and billions of dollars
each year.

POPULATION
GROWTH
What is a population?
A group of organism of the same species
living in the same habitat
at the same time
where they can freely interbreed
Natality
Increases population size
Each species will have its own maximum
birth rate
Maximum birth rates are seen when
conditions are ideal
This can lead to exponential growth
Mortality
Mortality reduces population growth
It operates more when conditions are not
ideal
Overcrowding leading to competition,
spread of infectious disease
Immigration
It increase population growth
It operates when populations are not
completely isolated
Emigration
It decrease population growth
It operates when populations are not
completely isolated
Interactions
Population growth =
(Natality + Immigration) - (Mortality +
Emigration)

growth
Phase 3
Plateau or stationary phase
No growth
The limiting factors balance the
populations capacity to increase
The population reaches the Carrying
Capacity (K) of the environment
Added limiting factors will lower K
Removing a limiting factor will raise K
