Answer» - Climate is the most important factor of all the factors influencing the distribution of population.
- Areas of extreme climate like too hot, too cold, too humid, too dry and region of very heavy rainfall are not comfortable for inhabitation of people. Such areas are sparsely populated.
- For example, polar regions where Eskimo and Lapps live are sparsely populated due to extreme cold climate. Sahara Desert is sparsely populated due to extreme hot climate.
- On the other hand, areas with equable climate, that is climate with not much seasonal variation attract people. People feel comfortable to stay in these areas.
- For example, coastal areas have dense population because of equable climate and wide scope for the development of agriculture, industries and trade.
