Did that market equilibrium question sound like Coblin. Cause that's what I was reminded of.
OMG, you have to copy out that question for me :D

(lol)

YES
i saw that question and thought "coblin....."
-
lolololol
-
Yeah, I thought the same thing as well.
-
Haha that's most definitely coblin!
-
:')
What was the actual question that followed?
-
10 Figure 1 suggests that population change in either direction causes
A irreversible damage to population numbers.
B a consequential change in another variable.
C a simultaneous change in all potential variables.
D an inevitable increase in overall population numbers.
11 Which one of the following is demonstrated by Figure 1?
In nature
A periods of abundance and shortage are transitory.
B periods of abundance and shortage are permanent.
C all changes in population sizes have known causes.
D periods of abundance last longer than periods of shortage.
12 Which of the following terms from Figure 2 best matches 'population increases' in Figure 1?
A prices fall
B prices rise
C demand exceeds supply
D entrepreneurs increase production
13 Figure 1 and Figure 2 suggest that ecological processes and economic processes are sustained by a type of
A self-correction
B outside influence
C static inflexibility
D arbitrary variation

I had no clue but I put
10) FORGOT
11) A
12) D
13) A
-
My answers:
10. B
11. A
12. C (or D)
13. A
-
YAY lol i got the same as coblin. Maybe should have done eco.
NAH. haha.
-
lol. See coblin, told you it was basic market forces :P
-
My answers:
10. B
11. A
12. C (or D)
13. A
Same as Coblins answers. (inc C for Q12)
-
For those questions i put:
10. C
11. A
12. C
13. A
I know i probably got question 10 wrong but meh, question 11 i had to look up the word transitory lol, i found it meant not permanent so i went for that, 12 is C because just compare where the population increases box is on the diagram n just check the same box in the next diagram. and 13 i guessed, but assumed it made sense because they correct themselves, there is alwasys a rise and fall in things, like a negative feedback loop in biology :D lol.

For whoever put D, i'm sorry but you are unfortunately incorrect. "Entrepreneurs increase production" is more of an after-effect for D > S.
-
ooh equilibrium

Increasing production is a bit like increasing population, but I think the better answer is C.
-
12 is definently C.
Demand increases supply is most similar to population increases because it's the fundamentally the same thing.
Think of population as "demand", and the supply as "food".
It is not D because if entreprenuers increase production, it means that the supply or "food" is being increased, (meaning, according to the chart, that demand decreases)
-
C is also the obvious answer, if you go right its the first one you come across.
