Mountainous Population Distribution

Mountainous population distribution refers to how people live in areas with significant elevation, like mountains. These regions often have lower population densities due to harsh weather, difficult terrain, and limited access to resources. This makes it challenging for large communities to thrive. Instead, populations in mountainous areas are typically smaller and concentrated in valleys or along rivers, where conditions are more favorable. While some people may choose to live in the mountains for their beauty or recreational opportunities, economic and social factors often limit overall population growth in these challenging environments.
