Factors Affecting Population Distribution
The distribution of population in the world is very uneven. There are some states in the world in which more population is inhabited, while some other areas are either empty or have very less population. Not only this, the distribution of population also varies continuously in terms of time and place due to variations in migration and growth rate of population. Clearly there are some factors that affect and control the distribution of population on Earth.
Factors Affecting Population Distribution
The factors affecting the distribution of population are broadly divided into physical, economic, socio-cultural and political classes. Following is a brief description of them
(a) Physical factors: Due to scientific and technological development, the world today .The distribution of the population has largely come out of the baggage of physical factors, but is not completely independent. Following are the physical factors affecting the distribution of population
1. Availability of water - water is the most important basis of life. People prefer to settle in areas where potable water is readily available. Water is used in animals, crops, industries , operations in addition to drinking, bathing and preparing food. This is the reason that river-valleys are the world's most densely inhabited region.
2. Relief - Surface design determines the extent of economic growth. Not enough space in high plateaus and hilly regions due to rugged surface and steep slopes. Would have got Due to excess erosion there is a thin layer of soil which is unsuitable for cultivation. The short harvesting of crops in high mountains limits the land's carrying capacity. There are neither favorable conditions for industries nor best routes are developed. Hence, the harsh conditions of living and food on the mountains and plateaus curb the natural development of the population. The Andes, Rockies and Himalayan mountain regions are areas with sparse population due to uneven terrain.In contrast, flat plains and fertile river valleys provide favorable conditions for human habitation, agriculture, industry and transport etc. Possibly due to these reasons, ancient civilizations were born, raised and raised in river valleys. Even today 90 percent of the world's population lives in the plains.
3. Climate - Climate, ie heat and cold, has a direct effect on human body, crops and other animals. Unhealthy climate makes a man lazy, weak and unskilled, while the residents of the best climate remain agile, enthusiastic, efficient and full of enthusiasm. Heterogeneous climatic conditions create difficulties in growing crops and raising animals. Uncomfortable climate never attracts. This is the reason that the plots near the poles are found almost man-less due to severe winter throughout the year. Regions of equatorial rainforests; For example, due to hot and humid climate in the jungles of Amazon and Congo, there is lack of population. Many fatal and unexplained diseases occur in such areas, due to which high mortality is always found there.
4.Soil - Soil itself has no importance. It is a means of growing crops. So, soil is the basis of food for humans and animals. In areas with fertile soil, the land has a high carrying capacity.
This is the reason why much of the population of the population is found in the cultivated areas of the rivers Ganga-Ratlag, Indus, Siangho, Mississippi, Nile and Po rivers. The Ganges-Sutlej Plain is spread over 14 percent of India's area and there About one-third (33%) of the population is inhabited.
5. Vegetation - Very own and wide forests act as a wall or screen in the free movement of humans. Due to the inaccessibility of the Selvas forest of the equatorial region, humans have not yet been able to occupy among them in train numbers. The economic importance of many forests also affects the distribution of population. The economic utility of Selya forests is very low. In contrast, the tropical importance of temperate tropical taiga forests is of great importance, due to which there is a large population of the colonized population.
(b) Economic Factors
1. Minerals - The mining industry develops in areas where huge deposits of minerals are found. In these mines, people work as laborers and settle there. Coal and iron-ore mining sectors attract more population due to high demand. Iron mining also led to the city of Gallivare in Sweden, and gold deposits settled Fairbanks and Photo UConn in Alaska. Uranium was the reason for settling Uranium City in the uninhabited cold region of northern Canada.Similarly the Andes Mountains the man reached the copper mines of Chukaimata located at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

Uranium was the reason for settling Uranium City in the uninhabited cold region of northern Canada.Similarly the Andes Mountains the man reached the copper mines of Chukaimata located at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
'2. Urbanization - Urban cities have a better quality of life and hence a greater density of population is found here. In cities, employment, medical, education, transport and recreational facilities are available in sufficient quantity. The cities are centers of knowledge, science, art, culture and specialized education. Due to these characteristics, many opportunities are available in cities for personal development and career making. These attractions only attract humans to cities. About 5,161 cities spread over about 2 percent of India's land, about 28.6 percent of the country's population (about 37.71 crore) live.
3. Industrial Development - Commissioned forms are considered as the tip of economic prosperity. They not only provide different types and levels of employment but also provide an opportunity to utilize their talent, competence and knowledge. Due to these reasons, the population is found in major industrial areas of the world, New England region of America, Rhine valley and Ruhr region of Europe, Moscow Tula region of Russia and Mumbai-Pune region of India are densely populated due to industrial development. Areas are counted.
4. Transport - Without developed and cheap transport facilities, concentration of population is not possible. One can reach his work place only by transport. Transport accelerates 1production and trade. This has created new employment opportunities, nowadays transport has become an industry. The eastern part of North America shares a dense population due to the utility of the interior waterways of Great and St. Lawrence. Siberia was a uninhabited state before the laying of the Trans-Siberian railway line. Rare population is found in equatorial regions due to lack of transport facilities. Transport routes act as arteries in the nation-friendly body.
(c) Socio-Cultural Factors
1. De-establishment - Religious and cultural groups are sometimes labored to move from one place to another due to perturbation fights that started with agonizing and minor issues (Parochial Concerns). Fed up with the daily atrocities in the East
Many Jews came and left European countries and settled in Israel. Millions of Palestinians fled Israel in a quarrel between Israelis and Arabs. The partition of India in 1947 resulted in the displacement of millions of people from one country to another. In Jammu and Kashmir, a large number of people had to leave their territory due to the militancy surrounding Pakistan.
2. Migration.of Labor - Due to economic reasons, a large number of labor goes from one region to another and from one state to another. The villages of northern India have reached this way hundreds of years ago in Mauritius, Fiji, Seashell and Trinidad. Today millions of Indian youth are earning a living in America, Australia and Middle East countries.

d) Political Factors:
Population-policy of different countries also its distribution Influences. At one time, Russia tried very hard to populate Siberia. Medals and prizes were given to the father and father who produced more children there as an honor. Today Australia has opened all the doors for the Indian people in its educational institutions. In contrast, countries with dense populations such as China, India and Ladesh have a policy of controlling the population in any case. Wars also lead to population blight. Since the First World War (1914-18), around 9 crore people have been killed in the wars till now.
