Write a short note on distribution of population.

Answer
Distribution of population:
More than 90 percent of the world’s population lives in about 10 percent of the land surface.
The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven. Some areas are very crowded and some are sparely populated.
Very few people live in high latitude areas, tropical deserts, high mountains and areas of equatorial forests. Many more people live north of the Equator than south of the Equator.
Almost three-quarters of the world’s people live in two continents Asia and Africa.
