J is for J Shaped Curve of Population Growth!

A J Shaped Curve of Population Growth is an exponential curve describing the growth of a population. Population increases rapidly at the beginning but then levels off as environmental pressures limit the growth.

Erin and Devon represent a J Shaped Curve because if they were to reproduce, they would add the exponentially increasing population curve of the human population. The population growth of humans is an example of J shaped population growth curve.
