What happens if the birth rate in a population is more than the death rate? What happens if it is less?

*MORE*Natural increase in a population occurs where Birth rate is greater than death rate. ... Natural decrease occurs when death rate is greater than birth rate. This means that more deaths occur in a population than babies are born so population numbers decline.

*LESS*Logic follows then that if the birth rate and death rate are equal, the population is not changing and if the birth rate is less than the death rate, the population would be shrinking (ie. more people are being “taken away” than are being added to the area).

If birth rate is more, then more people will come into the population, making it grow and thrive. If the birth rate is less then the death rate, the population will likely disapear within an amount of time.
