Exponential Growth
Exponential growth explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're cleaning your home, and you notice a small pile of clutter in the corner of a room. Just like how that clutter can quickly spread and take over the entire space if not managed, a population can experience exponential growth, rapidly increasing in size over a short period. The clutter represents the initial group of individuals, and as each item (or individual) attracts more, the pile (or population) grows exponentially, illustrating how unchecked growth can lead to overwhelming expansion.
