Detailed explanation-1: -Individuals of a population can be distributed in one of three basic patterns: they can be more or less equally spaced apart (uniform dispersion), dispersed randomly with no predictable pattern (random dispersion), or clustered in groups (clumped dispersion).

Detailed explanation-2: -Population distribution describes how the individuals are distributed, or spread throughout their habitat.

Detailed explanation-3: -National population distribution is defined as the share of inhabitants by types of regions in a given country. Population is unevenly distributed among regions within countries.

Detailed explanation-4: -The density of a population is the number of individuals per unit area or volume. The dispersion of a population is the pattern of spacing among individuals within the geographic boundaries.

Detailed explanation-5: -The way in which people are spread across the earth surface is known as the pattern of population distribution. More than 90 per cent of the world’s population lives in about 10 per cent of the land surface.
