Question

What are 5 reasons why resources on earth are unevenly distributed

Answer 1

Answer:-

The earth contains many different kinds of natural resources at different locations that are utilized by different cultures at different times in history. They are unevenly distributed in part because humans are unevenly distributed … and because the physical processes for their formation vary over the planet.

For example, most of the world’s human population lives on land (29% of the earth’s surface) in South and East Asia and in-between latitudes 20 and 40 degrees north. Why? Because that’s where the land is (the Southern Hemisphere is mostly ocean). Tectonic and climatic processes have concentrated minerals and habitable land forms in these land regions. Historically, good agricultural growing conditions and fertile soils gave rise to sustained population growth while too cold or too dry areas impeded population concentrations. Today, most people live in cities and towns because international commerce and trade can sustain these population concentrations, even in hot deserts and frozen shores
