Social Studies

A thematic map shaded to show how many people live per square mile is displaying—

  • a.the elevation of the land
  • b.birth and death rates
  • c.population density✓
  • d.total population

Density is a ratio of people to area, which is exactly what people per square mile expresses, and shading is the usual way to show it. Total population is a count that ignores area, better shown by graduated symbols. Birth and death rates describe change over time rather than crowding. And elevation belongs on a topographic or relief map.
