Study Notes
Population distribution
- Urbanization is not a factor related to population distribution.
- Climate, Relief and Water supply affects where people live.
Geographical Factors
- Mountains have lower population density due to factors including: difficult terrain, limited access to resources, and harsh climates.
- Sugar factories are often established in sugar cane production areas because of proximity to raw materials.
- Logging is not common in equatorial regions due to the dense vegetation and high rainfall, which create conditions unfavorable for logging.
Economic Activities
- Provider region - Regions with abundant natural resources, supplying raw materials and services to others.
- Recipient region - Regions that rely on imported resources and services from other regions.
- Mining relies on extracting minerals from the earth, often requiring heavy machinery and can disrupt ecosystems.
- Fishing relies on catching fish from natural sources and is sensitive to overfishing and environmental changes.
- Attractive factors - Favorable conditions, like abundant resources, fertile land, and favorable climate, that attract populations to live there.
- Unattractive factors - Unfavorable conditions, like arid climates, infertile land, and limited resources that discourage populations.
Geography of the World
- India has the highest sex ratio in the states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi.
