• The term population distribution refers to the way people are spaced over the earth’s surface.
• Broadly, 90 per cent of the world population lives in about 10 percent of its land area.
• The 10 most populous countries of the world contribute about 60 per cent of the world’s population. Of these 10 countries, 6 are located in Asia.]]> 2021-08-31 13:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707162267 ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707171063
• The ratio between the numbers of people to the size of land is called the density of population. It is usually measured in persons per sq. km

• Density of Population = Population/Area]]> 2021-08-31 14:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707171063 1. Geographical Factors ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707187494
• Availability of water: People prefer to live in areas where freshwater is easily available. Water is used for drinking, bathing and cooking – and also for cattle, crops, industries and navigation.

• Landforms: People prefer living on flat plains and gentle slopes because such areas are favourable for the production of crops and to build roads and industries.

• Climate: An extreme climate such as very hot or cold deserts are uncomfortable for human habitation. Areas with a comfortable climate, where there is not much seasonal variation attract more people.

• Soils: Fertile soils are important for agricultural and allied activities. Therefore, areas which have fertile loamy soils have more people living on them.]]> 2021-08-31 14:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707187494 2. Economic Factors ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707190462
• Minerals: Areas with mineral deposits attract industries. Mining and industrial activities generate employment therefore these areas are densely populated.

• Urbanisation: Cities offer better employment opportunities, educational and medical facilities, better means of transport and communication.

• Industrialisation: Industrial belts provide job opportunities and attract large numbers of people.]]> 2021-08-31 14:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707190462 3. Social and Cultural Factors ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707193264
• Some places attract more people because they have religious or cultural significance. People tend to move away from places where there is social and political unrest.

• Many a times governments offer incentives to people to live in sparsely populated areas or move away from overcrowded places.]]> 2021-08-31 14:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707193264 ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707209638 2021-08-31 14:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707209638 ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707218569 • The population growth or population change refers to the change in number of inhabitants of a territory during a specific period of time.

• Population change in an area is an important indicator of economic development, social upliftment and historical and cultural background of the region.]]> 2021-08-31 14:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707218569 ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707227160 2021-08-31 14:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707227160 ashmasks202005941 https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707228316 2021-08-31 14:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ashmasks202005941/gwsptc8vbnzbuwlt/wish/1707228316
