The distribution of Ethiopia's population generally is related to altitude, climate, and soil. These physical factors explain the concentration of population in the highlands, which are endowed with moderate temperatures, rich soil, and adequate rainfall.

Answer:

Factors affecting population distribution in Ethipia is explained below.

Explanation:

Ethiopia's population in 1990 was estimated at 51.7 million. According to the 1984 census, Ethiopia had a population of about 42 million. However, the census was far from comprehensive. Rural areas of Eritrea and Tigray are excluded due to hostilities. Furthermore, the population of southern Wil and Harari can only be estimated due to the epidemic of heathen nomads.

According to the 1984 census, Ethiopia's population was about 89 percent rural, and this proportion did not appear to change until the late 1980s (see Table 2, Appendix).  This section included many nomads and semi-nomads. The Ethiopian population has always lived mainly in rural areas and engaged in sedentary agricultural activities such as crop cultivation and livestock raising in the highlands.  In lowland areas, the main activities of subsistence agriculture by semi-nomadic groups and seasonal livestock grazing by nomads have traditionally been the main activities.

The population distribution of Ethiopia is generally related to altitude, climate and soil. These physical factors explain the population concentration in the highlands, which have moderate temperatures, abundant soil, and sufficient rainfall. About 14% of the population lives in areas above 2400 meters (cool climate zone), about 75% in 1500-2400 meters (temperate zone) and 11% in areas below 1500 meters (warm climate zone).  hot areas It includes even more areas. More than half of the land of Ethiopia. Areas above 3000 meters above sea level and below 1500 meters are sparsely populated. The first is due to the cold and rugged regions that limit agricultural activity, and the second is due to high and low rainfall except in the west and southwest.
