Question
Give a geographical reason:
Population distribution is uneven.
Solution
- The human population is unevenly dispersed over the planet.
- Physical variables such as relief, climate, water, soil, agriculture, transportation, urbanisation, and government regulations impact population distribution.
- Flat plain areas are more heavily populated than mountainous and hilly places.
- Agriculture employs the vast majority of the global population. The presence of water in the vicinity draws more people.
- In addition to other considerations, the policies of various governments influence population distribution; for example, in Japan, the government provides incentives to encourage people to move out of overcrowded urban areas like Tokyo.
