Explanation:

Distribution of the population is influenced by following factors

Geographical Factors include

I) Availability of water: It is the most important factor for life. So, people prefer to live in areas where fresh water is easily available.

2) Landforms: People prefer living on flat plains and gentle slopes. This is because such areas are favourable for the production of crops and to build roads and industries.

3. Climate: An extreme climate such as very hot or cold deserts are uncomfortable for human habitation. Areas with very heavy rainfall or extreme and harsh climates have low
population.

4. Soils: Fertile soils are important for agricultural and allied activities. Therefore, areas which have fertile loamy soils have more people living
on them as these can support intensive agriculture.
