Population density is the amount of people living in an area per square mile (miles, for ex.). The number of people living in any one area is determined by the desirability of the area. For example, nice weather, access to employment, interesting cultural events, abundant food, people with similar lifestyles.
If you look on a world map you will see that the population is always the most dense near water, whether it be a lake, river, or ocean. Long before manufacturing was around, people would obtain desirable things through trading. The best way to move mass quantities of goods was by water. Here's a case in point; at one time, the only way to preserve food was to coat it in salt. If you lived somewhere that didn't have salt available, you would have to buy it. To buy it, you would have to go somewhere that it was sold (a marketplace). You would probably have to do this often, so you would want to live near the place it was sold.
It would be brought to market and made available by business-people (traders). If you had something to sell wouldn't you want to take it to a place that would have the most customers?
Early people didn't have the technology to build dwellings or clothing that protected them from the elements (extreme heat or cold). These early people would want to migrate to an area in which they could live and not freeze to death.
If you had the choice of living any where in the world, where would it be, and why? Your answer will help you answer your original question.

What are some facts about population?

What parts of the world currently have the fastest and slowest population growth?
As of now, some parts of Africa, particularly countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, have the fastest population growth rates. On the other hand, parts of Europe and East Asia, such as countries like Italy and Japan, are experiencing slow population growth rates or even population decline due to factors like low birth rates and an aging population.
Why do people grow at different rates in different parts of the world?
People grow at different rates in different parts of the world due to a combination of genetics, nutrition, environmental factors, socio-economic status, and access to healthcare. Factors such as diet, climate, and healthcare infrastructure can impact the rate at which an individual grows and develops.
Which parts of the world are experiencing a very high increase in population?
Some parts of the world experiencing a very high increase in population include sub-Saharan Africa, parts of the Middle East, and certain countries in South Asia. Factors such as high birth rates, improved healthcare leading to lower mortality rates, and limited access to family planning contribute to rapid population growth in these regions.
What parts of the world are experiencing the most rapid population growth?
Currently, some parts of Africa, particularly countries in sub-Saharan Africa, are experiencing the most rapid population growth in the world. Additionally, parts of the Middle East and South Asia also have high population growth rates. These regions are characterized by high fertility rates, improved healthcare leading to lower mortality rates, and other socio-economic factors contributing to rapid population growth.
Why is life different in different parts of the world?
Because different parts of the world offers different living conditions.
What percentage of the world population owns a bed?
Approximately 70% of the world's population has access to a bed. However, this percentage can vary significantly by region, with higher rates in developed countries and lower rates in developing nations. Factors such as economic conditions, housing quality, and cultural practices influence bed ownership across different populations.
Where are the highest rates of natural increase found in the world?
The highest rates of natural increase in the world are typically found in less developed countries, particularly in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Middle East. These areas tend to have high birth rates and lower death rates, leading to rapid population growth.

Why do you think that energy consumption has not increased at the same rate as the population has increased?
Because people in different regions of the world use energy at different rates of consumption. The United States is the largest consumer of energy, so as their population increases their energy use increases at the fastest rate of anyone's. People in India use much less energy, so as their population energy consumption doesn't go up as fast. Population rates are different in different regions of the world as well. The US population rate increase is not as fast as India's, to use the same examples, so energy consumption increases, as both their populations increase, is somewhere between the increases experienced in both of these countries.
How did the search of food result in population throughout the world?
more people walked to different parts of the usa for then they saw new places and decided to live there
