Answer:

1.

Physical factors that affect population distribution include altitude and latitude, relief, climate, soils, vegetation, water and location of mineral and energy resources. It is important to note that most of the physical factors influence population distribution only indirectly through climatic conditions.

The influences of latitude and altitude on population distri­bution cannot be separated from one another.

High altitude in general imposes an ultimate physiological limit upon human existence due to reduced atmospheric pressure and low oxygen content.

Relief features also play an important role in influencing population distribution. The influence of altitude has already been noted.

Abrupt changes in the density of population can be seen on the world map of population distribution where plains meet mountain ranges.

Of all the geographic influences on population distribution, climatic conditions are perhaps the most important. Climate affects population distribution both directly as well as indirectly through its effects on soil, vegetation and agriculture that have direct bearings on the pattern of population distribution. Moreover, other physical factors like latitude and altitude also operate on population distribution through climatic conditions.
