Where People Live

It is estimated that 88% of the world's population lives northward of the equator. One argue for this fact could endure that at that topographic point is to a greater extent than landmass northward of the equator too to a greater extent than H2O southward of the equator. However the northward of the planet has closed to 68% of the world's landmass then that apparently doesn't fully explicate why nearly 90% of the world's population is squeezed into 68% of the world's landmass.

You tin run into where the world's population lives on Andre Andersen's World Population Map. This population density map includes ii graphs which demonstrate the distribution of the world's population both past times latitude too longitude. This helps us to run into where the highest densities of the world's people truly live.

Using the map you lot tin run into a huge per centum of the world's population lives eastward of Delhi too westward of China's eastward coast. That is betwixt longitude 72 E too longitude 123 E. Bill Rankin's Radical Cartography estimates that one-half the world's population lives northward of 24 N latitude.

The respond to why nearly of the Blue Planet lives northward of the equator is because that is where Republic of Republic of India too China are. Why nearly people alive inward Republic of Republic of India too China is of shape an exclusively dissimilar question.
