Which type of growth occurs when population growth slows or stops after a period of exponential growth?
Exponential growth is not sustainable because it would require infinite resources.
When the population is large enough, resources are consumed, and this slows the growth rate.
When the growth rate starts to slow, the population graph makes an S-shaped curve which approaches a maximum limit.
The bottom half of the S-shaped curve is exponential and the top half of an S-shaped curve is logistic.
   
Therefore, the correct answer is that logistic growth follows after a period of exponential growth stops.
