Today in class we learned about human settlement and population. The earth contains roughly 7.6 billion people and is increasing at about 1 child per 8 seconds. The amount of deaths that happen on earth have increased but also increased in time. Some one dies about every 8 seconds some where in the world. The amount of people that live on earth ahs increased at a very fast rate since about the start of the nineteen hundreds. The life expectancy has increased over time but it has grown fast recently. The average life expectancy in the united states is about 76 while in places like Monaco can go above 90 years of age. The growth in population has taken place in mostly 3rd world countries from statistics. Since the life expectancy has increased and the amount of people born has increased then the population will keep on going at exponentially until Earth reaches a limit with its natural resources. Once the Earth cannot support the population anymore than there will be a very fast downfall in population until There are enough resources for everyone again.
