2(ii)There are a number of areas with high population density in the world. Why does this happen?Show solution
Areas with high population density are usually those where living conditions are favourable. This happens because such regions have plenty of water, flat or gentle landforms, a comfortable climate, and fertile soils. These conditions support agriculture, transport, industry, and settlement, so more people live there. In addition, places with minerals, urban facilities, and industries attract workers and increase density.
