According to Thomas Malthus, how do populations grow over time?

Show Answers

Food supply expands in a geometric sequencePopulation increases in a linear progressionPopulation grows exponentially in a geometric progressionPopulation growth is determined by algebraic, not geometric or arithmetic, principles

Explanation

Thomas Malthus proposed that populations tend to grow exponentially, following a geometric progression, while food supply increases at a slower, arithmetic rate. This imbalance can lead to resource shortages.
