10 'interesting' maps prove the world population is unevenly distributed

The world population is unevenly distributed across territories, in fact it is difficult to believe that it is true. The simple reason for this is because the terrain in many places is not suitable for humans to live.

Although our planet earth is large enough to accommodate billions of people, it does not mean providing enough food to feed them. The maps below will show us clearly what we are thinking at the present time is completely different from reality.

To understand more, see the facts about the world's population through 10 " interesting " maps below. They will surprise you!

The world population is unevenly distributed due to the lack of suitable terrain for living.(© metrocosm).

Observe the world map at the top: the area where many people live ( 50% of the world's population ) is illustrated by small, small dots of color combined with 50% of the world's population in illustration in black.

The blue area has only 5% of the world population.(© metrocosm).

Still the world map, but this map is more interesting in that it shows us the most sparsely populated places in the world. It is hard to believe that the blue area has only 5% of the world population. By the number of 5% of the world population, the red dot area is tiny.

Italy has a population of only 8% of the country.(© metrocosm).

The map above illustrates Italy 's population density, they are only in 8% of the whole country area. The main reason is because the central part of the peninsula is mainly hills and mountains.

Turkey's topography is a mountain, so only a small number of land is suitable for building storey houses.(© metrocosm).

Most of the terrain in Turkey is mountains, only a small percentage of the land area is suitable for building high-rise buildings. This explains why the above map shows such density of population living in Turkey.

The two areas are designated in red, representing the cities of Casablanca and Rabat.(© metrocosm).

Sahara Desert is one of the harshest places in the world. It almost occupies the entire northern region of Africa. The two areas designated in red represent the two largest cities of the Kingdom of Morocco, namely Casablanca and Rabat, as well as the area along the banks of the Nile River in Egypt.
