Population density and distribution：練習題

Which of the following is most likely to be a political factor that leads to a sparse population distribution in a region?

Which of the following physical factors is the primary cause of sparse population distribution across the interior of the Arabian Peninsula?

A mountainous region has an overall population density of \(8\) persons per \(km^{2}\). However, the population is concentrated within a single fertile valley that covers only \(5\)% of the region's total area. If the total area of the region is \(20,000\) \(km^{2}\), what is the population density within that specific valley?

Which of the following is a social factor that most likely contributes to an area being densely populated?

Which of the following human factors would most likely lead to an area having a high population density?

Identify two physical factors that typically result in a sparse population distribution in a region.

Describe how relief and accessibility act as physical and human factors in determining why some areas are sparsely populated.

State the meaning of the term population distribution.

(a) Define the term population density.

(b) Area A has a total population of \(18,000,000\) people and a land area of \(600,000\) \(km^{2}\). Calculate the population density for Area A. You must show your working and include the unit of measurement in your answer.

(c) State one human factor and one physical factor that could explain why an area might be densely populated.

The distribution and density of population across the globe are influenced by a complex interplay of various geographical factors.

(a) Describe and explain how physical factors influence the density and distribution of population within a country or region. Provide specific examples to illustrate your answer.

(b) With reference to a contrasting region or country, evaluate the relative importance of economic and political factors in influencing its population density and distribution.
