Exploring Population Distribution and Density

The video tutorial explores population distribution and density, explaining why people live where they do and how densely populated areas are. It covers physical and human factors influencing distribution, such as climate, landforms, and cultural amenities. The tutorial also delves into population density, illustrating how it is calculated using arithmetic, physiological, and agricultural methods. Examples from cities like Houston and New York highlight the concept's practical implications.
