Identify two topographic features shown on the map

• The Tibetan Plateau and the Gobi Desert

• Two topographic features shown on the map are the mountains and hills

• Two topographic features shown on the map are the Himalayas and the Taklamakan Desert

• The ocean and rivers

Select the answer that better: describes one way that the availability of natural resources may affect population distribution.

• Population density is lower in the Taklamakan Desert and/or Gobi Desert because of dry/arid/hot climate, limited water sources, and a lack of suitable soil for agriculture.

• In areas with sparse natural resources (for example, harsh climate, lack of suitable agriculture), population is likely to be more sparsely distributed

• In areas with sparse natural resources (for example, harsh climate, lack of suitable agriculture), population is likely to be more clustered distributed

• Population density is higher in the Taklamakan Desert and/or Gobi Desert because of dry/arid/hot climate, limited water sources, and a lack of suitable soil for agriculture.
