Detailed explanation-1: -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. The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three dispersion patterns are clumped, random, and uniform (figure 5.1. a). Individuals that are grouped into patches have a clumped distribution, or aggregated distribution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Throughout the country, India has a highly uneven pattern of the population distribution. Uttar Pradesh has the highest population followed by Maharashtra, Bihar, and West Bengal. Terrain, climate, and availability of water largely determine the pattern of the population distribution.
