Geographic Distribution

Geographic distribution refers to how a particular group of people, species, or phenomena are spread across different areas or regions. It helps us understand where they are found and in what quantities, which can reveal patterns related to environment, resources, or factors influencing their presence. For example, the distribution of a plant species might be limited to certain climate zones, or the spread of a disease might be concentrated in specific locations. Recognizing these patterns aids in planning, resource management, and understanding underlying causes for their distribution.
