Explain with example any three geographical factors which influence the distribution of the population in the world.

The three geographical factors which influence the distribution of the population in the world are as follows:

1. Availability of water: It is the most important factor of life. People prefer to live in areas where fresh water is readily available. That’s why places near river valleys are densely populated.

2. Land forms: People prefer to live in plains and gentle slopes as these are favorable for the production of crops and industrial industries.

3. Climate: People prefer living in areas that have moderate climatic conditions. These areas do not have heavy rainfall and harsh climate hence support high 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 they can support intensive agriculture.
