  1. World Population Distribution

  2. Distribution: Population Concentrations • East Asia- China, Koreas, Japan, and Taiwan • China has a large rural population along Yangtze and Huang He Rivers, while South Korea and Japan has a mostly urban population • South Asia- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka • Region has a large rural population along Indus and Ganges Rivers • Europe- Over 75% of Europeans live in cities and it imports lots of food. • Southeast Asia- Many islands in Indonesia and Philippines have very dense populations • North America- Densest area is in Northeastern U.S.

  3. Distribution: Population Pattern Ecumene is portion of world’s surface with permanent settlements. Near Ocean: 2/3 of world population is within 300 miles of ocean, 4/5 within 500 miles of ocean. Main population areas are usually low-lying areas with fertile soil and temperate climates. Humans avoid very dry, cold, wet and high areas.

  4. Question? • Looking at the cartogram, which country surprises you? Is there a country you expected to see but didn’t?

  5. Distribution: Population Density • Arithmetic density: total number of people divided by the total land area • U.S. has 80 people per square mile, India 350 • Physiological density: total # of people divided by unit of arable land • U.S. has 172 people per square arable mile, India 618 • Agricultural density: total # of farmers to the amount of arable land. • U.S. has 1 farmer per arable mile, Egypt has 826 per arable mile • Geographers compare these numbers to see the capacity of an area to support the people.

  6. Summary • Create a brace map on World’s Population
