They are located in coastline areas for easier shipping and trading. • There is also a high population near the Ganges river this is because there is good fertile soil so there is more farming there.
POPULATION DIVERSITY • Population diversity is composition of the population including age, and gender. • Age As shown on the India age graph they have a young population with a large amount of their population under the age of 15. By comparing it to the France age graph you can tell India has a young population because its lower ages are half as small as the ones on the India graph.
