Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The density of the population is expressed as the number of persons per unit area. It helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of the population concerning land. The density of population can be divided into:

  1. Regions of high density: Some countries have large populations living in a small area. In Bangladesh, people are packed more closely together. Countries like this have a high population density or a dense population. 
  2. Regions of low density: Canada and Australia are large in area but have small populations. These countries have a low or sparse population density.
  3. Regions of moderate density: A moderate population density is somewhere in the middle. These countries average 15 to 150 people per square kilometer. France has 107.8 people per square kilometer, so it has a moderate population density.

  1. population divided by the area

  2. area divided by the population

  4. population of an area divided by total population
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The density of the population is expressed as the number of persons per unit area. It helps in getting a better understanding of the spatial distribution of the population concerning land. To calculate the population density, you will divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers.
