  1. Population studies: Introduction • Learning intentions: We are learning about areas that are sparsely and densely populated. • Success criteria: • I can describe and explain the reasons for areas that are sparsely populated giving named examples. • I can describe and explain places that are densely populated giving named examples.

  2. Population studies: Introduction • The population of the world is increasing • In the last 250 years the increase has been very rapid • Now the world’s population is over seven billion

  3. Population studies: Introduction • There are some places where many people live • There are other parts of the world where few people live

  4. Population studies: Introduction • Places where many people live are called densely populated • These include places like New York City

  5. Population studies: Introduction • Parts of China can be very crowded too • So can cities such as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil

  6. Population studies: Introduction • There are other areas where hardly anyone lives • These are places which are difficult for people to survive • The Himalaya mountains

  7. Population studies: Introduction • Or the Andes in South America • Where the peaks rise to 20,000 feet above sea level • People live in the narrow valley bottoms

  8. Population studies: Introduction • Or in the Rain forests of the Amazon Basin • The jungle is too hot and damp to live in

  9. Population studies: Introduction • This place is too hot for people to live • And there is very little water from rain that hardly ever falls • Where is this place?

  10. Population studies: Introduction • This is Uluru in Australia • Or as we have called it - Ayres Rock

  11. Population studies: Introduction • And there are places which are too cold • Like Siberia • Or The South Pole

  12. So remember • Densely populated is crowded • Sparsely populated is quite empty
