What to Focus On

  • Population is the total number of people in a given area.
  • In biology, population means a group of inter-breeding organisms of one species.
  • People are a resource because they create and use other resources.
  • Distribution shows the spread of population.
  • Density means persons per square kilometre.
  • Each dot on the population map represents five lakh persons.
  • Relief, climate, and soil are physical factors.
  • Industrialization, urbanization, transport, and communication are socio-economic factors.
  • Plains and fertile areas support more people.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A bigger population always means a denser population.

The state with the highest density of population in India is the same as the state with the highest population.

NCT of Delhi has the highest density, so the exact value is easy to quote without checking.
