No, it will not be possible to continue increasing the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere indefinitely. At some point, the results will be catastrophic.

Why do sun spots increase?

The number of sunspots increases at times, and decreases at others. It will not continue to increase indefinitely.


What is population growth called when resources are not limited?

Population growth is referred to as exponential growth when resources are not limited, as the population can continue to increase at an accelerating rate.


Is a population that is experiencing exponential growth fast or slow?

A population that is experiencing exponential growth is typically fast. Exponential growth refers to a constant growth rate where the population size increases exponentially over time. This means that the population doubles at a regular interval, leading to a rapid increase in numbers.


Why bacterial growth is called exponential?

Bacterial growth is called exponential because it follows a pattern where the population doubles at a constant rate over a period of time. Each new generation of bacteria doubles in number, leading to a rapid increase in population size. This results in a curve that shows exponential growth when plotted over time.


An exponential growth function describes an amount that decreases exponentially over time?

An exponential growth function actually describes a quantity that increases exponentially over time, with the rate of increase proportional to the current value of the quantity, resulting in rapid growth. The formula for an exponential growth function is y = a * (1 + r)^t, where 'a' is the initial quantity, 'r' is the growth rate, and 't' is time.

A logistic growth pattern from an exponential growth pattern?

The growth rate in an exponential growth will continue to increase over time. In logistic growth, the growth rate will increase until it begins to level off at at the carrying capacity of an environment, where the amount of resources determines the amount of organisms that can be sustained in a given environment.


What is the word for Extremely rapid increase?

"inflation"


Describe exponential growth and explain what is needed in order for this type of growth to continue?

Any time the RATE of increase is greater than one. For example : if a population were to double (note that 2 is greater than 1) each generation then it is referred to as exponential growth. Note also that there are now 7 billion people on Earth - exponential growth. What is "needed" for this kind of growth is an unlimited environment, since it does not exist in the real universe, exponential growth ALWAYS crashes.

When can exponential growth?

when there is no competition When there are unlimited resources- Apex Exponential growth can happen anytime when the rate of the growth is increasing along with an increase in growth.

Differentiate a logistic growth pattern from an exponential growth pattern?

Exponential functions increase for all values of x, Logistic growth patterns appear to increase exponentially however they eventually platou out on a maximum y value


Over the history of the human population the average increase rate of populations?

C. exponential


Logistic and exponential growth?

A logistic growth will at first approximate an exponential growth - until it approximates the "saturation" value, when it begins to increase less quickly.
