Task 2: Choropleth Map of Global Population Distribution-2015
a) Using the map above, describe the population distribution patterns at a global scale. (You should only use the information on the map, including quantification to answer this.)
b) Suggest why the population of the world is distributed in such a way (discuss physical and human reasons).
Task 3: In pairs: Each explain a couple/ few of the maps in the links below and then answer the accompanying questions.
Tip: Aim to make connections between the maps in your explanation.
b) Using map evidence from above or your own research, explain the human geographic factors (social, economic, political, cultural) that contribute to global population distribution.
