Population Distribution and Composition

Population distribution refers to how people are spread across different areas of the world, affecting where they live—cities, rural areas, or regions. Composition, on the other hand, looks at the characteristics of these populations, such as age, gender, and ethnicity. Together, they shape how communities interact with their environment. For instance, densely populated urban areas may face challenges like pollution and resource management, while rural areas might focus on agriculture and land use. Understanding these factors helps inform policies for sustainable living and addressing environmental issues related to different population dynamics.
