Answer 1

$\huge\underline\purple{Answer:-}$

The main factors determining population distribution are : climate, landforms, topography, soil, energy and mineral resources, accessibility like distance from sea coast, natural harbours, navigable rivers or canals, cultural factors, political boundaries, controls on migration and trade, government policies, e.t.c.

Answer 2

Ans : Population distribution in the world is uneven because of two factors, Geographical and Social.

Geographical factors include.

1. Topography: People prefer living on plains rather than mountains and plateaus because these areas are suitable for farming, manufacturing and service activities. The Ganga plains are the most densely populated area of the world, while mountains like Andes, Alps and Himalayas are sparsely populated.
2. Water: People prefer living in areas where fresh water is easily available. The river valleys of the world are the densely populated regions, while deserts have spare population.

Social Factors include:

1. Social: Areas of better housing, education and health facilities are more densely populated. (For example: Pune)
2. Economic: Industrial areas provide employment opportunities. Large number of people are attracted to these areas. Osaka in Japan and Mumbai in India are two densely populated areas.
