Based on the distribution of population density, the world can be divided into how many regions? Mention the categories and give examples of the countries which fall in each category.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Define population density
• Explain three regions with examples

Answer:
On the basis of density of population, the world can be divided into three regions​
Distribution of population based on the density of population, the world is divided into three regions.

• Areas of high density
• Areas of medium density
• Areas of low density

1. High population density areas
   • Areas of High Density have favourable climate, soil, water and transport facilities. The regions are well-developed.​
   • Examples: Eastern Asia (Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan), south and southeast Asia ( India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan), western and central Europe (Germany, France and the United Kingdom), and east and central North America. ​ ​
2. Medium population density areas
   • Areas of Medium Density are between the areas of high and low population density. ​
   • Examples: Central part of the United States of America, South Africa, central China, north and western Africa and southeast Australia.
3. Areas of Low Density are where climatic conditions are not favourable to live or survive.​
   • Example: Deserts-sahara desert, steep mountain ranges-the himalayas, polar regions-Antarctica , thick forest areas like Amazon forest.
   • These areas experience extreme climate and have unsuitable terrain.
