Question 1 Report

On a population map of the world, all but one of the following appear generally as regions of low population density

Answer Details

The question asks which region does not appear as an area of low population density on a world population map. Three of the options are sparsely populated, while one stands out as densely populated.

  • The Island of Java in Indonesia is one of the most densely populated islands in the world, with over 150 million people on an area smaller than many countries. Its fertile volcanic soils, favourable climate for rice cultivation, and historical concentration of political and economic activity make it a region of very high population density.
  • The Amazon forests are largely uninhabited tropical rainforest with extremely low population density.
  • The hot deserts (Sahara, Arabian, Kalahari, etc.) are harsh, arid environments with very few inhabitants.
  • Antarctica has virtually no permanent human population.

The Island of Java is the exception that does not appear as a region of low population density.
