Explanation:

Density - independent factors affect a population regardless of its density. Drought, earthquake are natural disasters that impact populations without being related to population density. Overcrowding is density - dependent as it is related to high population density. Habitat loss can be density - dependent as more crowded populations may be more affected. Disease spreads more easily in dense populations, so it is density - dependent.
