About 90% of the world's population is inhabited In the plain areas of the alluvial soil of the Tropical and sub - tropical areas. These are the areas of intensive crop cultivation with high yields. All these areas support dense population. In contrast , sparse population is seen in areas of high altitude, deserts and equatorial forest region Where slopes are step temperature is either too hot to cold soils are thin and infertile . These areas are inhabited by people who are engaged in hunting , gathering ,fishing and shifting agriculture .
