POPULATION DISTRIBUTION - Coggle Diagram

- - - - People prefer to settle in low-lying areas near the coast and in river valleys. There are fewer villages in mountain areas as access is difficult, the terrain is rugged, and the weather conditions are worse
    - - The fertility of the soil, which favours the development of agriculture, has been an important factor in human settlements throughout history.
    - - Hardly any people live in the areas of the planet that are extremely hot or extremely cold. Temperate areas with milder temperatures are much more suited to human settlements.
    - - Human beings need water to survive and obtain food. Therefore, in areas where water is scarce, such as in deserts, there are not many people.
  - - - People settle where there is employment and services. There tend to be more inhabitants in areas with rich agriculture, major industrial development or many tertiary sector activities.
    - - Technological advances allow people to alter natural physical factors, for example, agriculture can be developed in formerly arid areas thanks to hydraulic technologies, agricultural greenhouses, etc.
    - - Decisions made by governments can influence demographic behaviour, for example, policies encouraging or controlling births, regulating migration or causing citizens to go into exile.
- - - - POPULATION DENSITY IN THE WORLD
      - To find out the population density of the inhabited area of the planet, you should use the following formula:
      - 7,800,000,000 inhabitants/134,940,000 km2=57.80 inhab. / km2
