Question

1. all of the following describe the population distribution shown in the map above except-

the nile river region is densely populated because it provides water and fertile land
the sahara desert region is sparsely populated due to its lack of resources
population is distributed randomly across northern africa with no connection to resources
many coastal regions of northern africa are densely populated

Explanation:

• The Nile River region has water and fertile land, which are essential for human settlement, so it is densely populated.
• The Sahara Desert lacks resources like water, making it sparsely populated.
• Many coastal regions in Northern Africa are densely populated as they often have access to trade, resources, and better living conditions.
• Population distribution is not random; it is influenced by resources (e.g., water, fertile land in the Nile region; access to the sea in coastal areas).

Answer:

Population is distributed randomly across Northern Africa with no connection to resources.
