(a) Similarities in population distribution in Brazil and India:

- Inaccessible dense forests and absence of facilities are the barriers to human settlements.
- North, north west and north east of both the countries are the regions of low population.
- Population is concentrated in flat fertile regions which have abundant water resources, transport facilities, mild climate and development of agriculture industries and trade in the plain region.
- Coastal regions are densely populated in Brazil and in India.
(b) Differences between population distribution in Brazil and India.
- The average density of population in India is 382 persons per sq.km, and that of Brazil is about 23 persons per sq.km.
- Though the area of both the countries is occupied by vast river basins, the distribution of population is extremely opposite in both the river basins.
- The Amazon River Basin is sparsely populated while the Ganga River Basin is densely populated.
