Population Pyramids

• Draw two simple sketches of these pyramids (they can be outlines)

• Describe what the pyramid for Ethiopia shows

• Think about the birth rate and reasons for it

• Think about the death rate and reasons for it

• Now write a comparison to the UK’s pyramid

What? Where? Why? Who?

Global Distribution of Population

Lesson Objectives:•Describe the distribution of people•Explain the concept of population density•Suggest reasons why population density varies

Where do people live?

• This map shows the distribution of the worlds population

• Describe the distribution of people and suggest reasons for their distribution

Where do people live?

• Is it just about the number of people?

• What is wrong with just using this map?

Page 6: Population Pyramids - Wingate Geographywingategeog.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/3/...population.pdf · Population Pyramids • Draw two simple sketches of these pyramids (they can be outlines)

Where do people live?

• Compare the two maps, write down how this map is different?

Where do people live?

• What terms can we use to describe how many people live in an area?

Reasons

• The majority of people in in the northern hemisphere between 20° and 60°

• This is often called the ‘Old World’

• Reasons why some areas are densely populated and others are sparsely populated can be down to PHYSICAL and HUMAN factors

• Sort the following into PHYSICAL and HUMAN factors

Page 9: Population Pyramids - Wingate Geographywingategeog.weebly.com/uploads/2/3/3/...population.pdf · Population Pyramids • Draw two simple sketches of these pyramids (they can be outlines)

Physical or Human?

Relief

Climate

Resources

Economic

Social

Soil

Accessibility

Vegetation

Political

Complete the table on physical factors, what type of climate (etc) do you think would cause a high population density

• EXTENSION: Look at the human factors and do the same

PHYSICAL FACTORS Reasons for areas of high population density

Reasons for areas of low population density

Relief (shape and height of land)

It is easier to live on low lying, flat land. This is because it is

easier to build and farm

Climate

SoilIf a location has soil which is not very fertile then very few

people will choose to live there

Vegetation

Accessibility

Resources

HUMAN FACTORS

Reasons for areas of high population

density

Reasons for areas of low population

density

Economic Think about the job opportunities, level of development, trade links and infrastructureThink about the job opportunities, level of

development, trade links and infrastructure

SocialThink about how people like to live, do they

like to live in urban areas e.g. Japan vs Sweden

Think about how people like to live, do they like to live in urban areas e.g. Japan vs

Sweden

Political Think about how stable the governments are e.g. UK vs Afghanistan
