Population growth is referred to as exponential growth when resources are not limited, as the population can continue to increase at an accelerating rate.
Exponential growth
Major rise in population...obviously.
"Boom" is used to describe a sudden growth in the population of a city.
factors that contribute to exponential growth is unlimited resources while factors that contribute to logistic population growth is limited resources.
An example of a linear population can be seen in a simple model of a species that reproduces at a constant rate in an environment with unlimited resources. For instance, if a rabbit population doubles every year under ideal conditions, the growth can be represented by a linear equation. However, in reality, most populations are better described by exponential growth models due to resource limitations. A true linear population growth is rare in nature but can be approximated in controlled settings.
unlimited
If a population of bacteria has an unlimited supply of nutrients, it will typically exhibit exponential growth, where the number of bacteria increases rapidly over time. This growth occurs in phases, starting with a lag phase as bacteria adapt to their environment, followed by a log phase where the population doubles at regular intervals. Eventually, other factors such as space limitation or waste accumulation may slow growth, leading to a stationary phase. However, as long as nutrients remain unlimited, exponential growth can continue indefinitely in theory.
No. This has resulted in an organic, haphazard growth, with all the problems associated with it.
A. The new problems in the country were related to its growth.

if resources are unlimited and there are no predators, then the population of a species will grow exponentially
