Factor that does not affect the distribution and density of population
Answers
1.Terrain: Terrain of land is a potent factor which influences the concentration and growth of population. 2.Climate: Climate is as important as terrain in influencing population. 3.Soil: Soil is an important factor in determining the density of population in an overwhelmingly agricultural country like India. Fertile soil supports higher population density while infertile soil leads to low density. 4.Water Bodies: Availability of water plays a significant role in determining the population of a given area. Water is the basic necessity for several purposes including irrigation, industries, transport and domestic affairs. Rivers are the greatest source of fresh potable water 5.Mineral Resources: Minerals act as great source of attraction for people from different areas, which results in higher density of population 6.Industries: Industrial growth offers massive employment opportunities and acts as a great magnet to attract people, particularly from the neighbouring areas. 7.Transport: Growth of population is directly proportional to the development of transport facilities. 8.Urbanization: Urbanization and population concentration go hand-in-hand and are closely related to each other. All the urban centres are marked by high density of population.
