Question

Give a geographical reason:

Climate affects the distribution of the population.

Answer 1

1. Extreme temperature areas, such as deserts that are both very hot and very cold, cold areas, and areas that are either very dry or humid, have lower population densities because people can’t live there.
2. For example, Siberia and Antarctica have very few people living there, or almost none at all, because it’s so cold.
3. Similarly, there aren’t many people living in the deserts of the Sahara and Kalahari because the weather is so hot and dry. It is also very hot and humid in the equatorial area, so not many people live there. On the other hand, tropical and monsoon climate regions have many people living there because the weather is mild.

In this way, temperature affects how people live.
