- WESTERN EUROPE - low lying
gentle sloping, pleasant climate,
easy communication and resources
for industry - DENSELY
POPULATED
- AMAZON FOREST -
hot,wet, communication
and settlement difficult due
to thick vegetation -
SPARSELY POPULATED
- HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS -
Cold, steep slopes, difficult
communication and settlements

- POPULATION DENSITY -
TELLS US HOW CROWDED
A PLACE IS
- DENSITY - is the
number of people in
an area
- divide total population by total
area = people per km squared
- DENSELY
POPULATED -
Means that a place
is crowded and has
a high population
density
- SPARSELY
POPULATED -
means places with
few people and
low population
density
- divide total population by total
area = people per km squared
- DENSITY - is the
number of people in
an area
- FEW PEOPLE LIVE IN
PLACES WITH FEW
RESOURCES
- Areas with extreme climates
are sparsely populated
- extreme temperature
- lack of water/precipitation
- extreme temperature
- Areas with high altitudes sparsely
populated - poor soil, inaccessible
steep slopes difficult for
settlements
- Areas with extreme climates
are sparsely populated
- DENSELY POPULATED AREAS
- Have habitable environments
- wealthy and industrial eg europe/Japan
- poor countries eg india/ethiopia
- River valleys -
sheltered/provide
transport/good
communication links
eg ganges Valley in
India
- lowlands plains - flat fertile soil, easy communication eg Denmark
- Rich in natural resources - sources for industries eg fossil fuels s Wales
- Coastal Plains - moderate climate good access sea ports
- Have habitable environments
