Question

Give geographical reasons-

Average density of population is high in India.

Answer 1

• India’s population density is high because a very large population lives on a relatively small land area (India has about 2.41% of the world’s land but roughly 17.5% of its people).
• Most people are concentrated in fertile plains, river valleys, and coastal belts (e.g., the Indo‑Ganga plains and coastal cities), while mountains, the Thar desert, and dense forests remain sparsely inhabited.
