You may have noticed that the world’s population is not evenly distributed (分布) around our planet. There are some countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded. Then there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives. What influences (影响) this unequal distribution (不平衡的分布) of people There are some advantages and disadvantages of living in a certain area.
The two factors that influence people’s choice of location are climate and resources. Climate is the usual weather conditions in an area. Areas that have bad weather are not good places to live in. The North Pole and the South Pole at the top and bottom of the world may be beautiful in their rugged, natural way, but the disadvantage of the cold and windy conditions usually keeps people away. When it comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantages that attract people.
Natural resources are things that we get from nature that help us live. Each region offers different resources. People who enjoy the beach can make their living by catching and selling the ocean’s many fish and other sea creatures. Those who like farming can use rich soil in valleys near rivers.
