Question

historical human growth
historically, the human population remained stable for many eras. births and deaths balanced each other, resulting in zero population growth. biotic potential is the rate at which a population can grow under ideal conditions. this encourages population growth. environmental resistance are the factors that hinder biotic potential, restricting population growth. humanss historical zero population growth came from environmental resistance keeping biotic potential in check. these factors included favorable climates, food, and water sources, as well as diseases, lack of food, and unfavorable climates.

in the 1350s, the black plague caused a significant population decline, an example of environmental resistance. however, starting around 1804, the human population began to grow exponentially, adding over 6 billion people in about two centuries. this is largely attributed to the industrial revolution as humans figured out how to mass produce food and resources. this rapid growth differs from historical stability and raises questions about sustainability and environmental impact.

what is primarily attributed to the rapid population growth starting around 1804?

• the industrial revolution
• the green revolution
• the digital revolution
• world war 2

Explanation:

The text states that around 1804, the Industrial Revolution allowed humans to mass - produce food and resources, which led to rapid population growth. The Green Revolution was later (focused on agriculture in the mid - 20th century), the Digital Revolution is modern (related to technology and information), and World War 2 was in the 20th century (not around 1804). So the Industrial Revolution is the cause.

Answer:

The Industrial Revolution
