Chapter 2-Population: Population Distribution and Density and Population Pyramid

Population Distribution and Density

Below are the tables that the two classes did in class in the factors that affect population distribution and density.

Class 2-3


Class 2-9


Population Pyramid

Below is a short introduction about what a Population Pyramid is, look through and have an idea of what characteristics a Less Developed country (Less economically developed country) and a Developed country (More economically developed country) would have. Enjoy!


Here is another site besides the CIA factbook mentioned earlier in an older post where you can access to a country's facts and figures, statistics and other information. Go into the weblink and click at any country you are interested in. Do look especially at the population pyramids of different countries for a reference which can be found under the headline "age distribution".


Below are three countries' population pyramids taken from the website above. These countries are the ones we often talked about in class. Compare and see the different shapes of the three countries, look at the different characteristics and what can you deduce from them?
