Characteristics of the graph of this growth form

• The graph has a distinctive J-shape
• Initially the increase in numbers is slow, as there are few individuals
• In time there is a sharp increase in individuals and the graph rises steeply.
• Geometric growth takes place due to optimum environmental conditions
• A sudden standstill often occurs in geometric growth forms
• A standstill occurs when conditions become unfavorable (shortage of food and oxygen, unfavorable temperature, poisoning due to waste)
• Once conditions are favorable again, the growth pattern can be repeated
