EOS1 Review Geography

Study the figure, which shows information about the population in the Lesser Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean.

What is measured by population density?

• How closely together people live

• How large the population of an area is

• The amount of land in the area

• The wealth of an area

Calculate the population density of St. Lucia using the following data:

Area of land = 616km2

Total population = 167000

Answer explanation

Population Density is calculated by dividing the total number of people over the land area.

Using the map, identify the largest island.

• St. Lucia

• Grenada

• Puerto Rico

• Barbados

Answer explanation

Population Density is calculated by dividing the total number of people over the land area.

Using the map, identify the island with the largest total population.

• St. Lucia

• Grenada

• Puerto Rico

• Barbados

Answer explanation

Population Density is calculated by dividing the total number of people over the land area.

Using the map, identify the island with the highest population density.

• St. Lucia

• Grenada

• Puerto Rico

• Barbados

Answer explanation

Population Density is calculated by dividing the total number of people over the land area.

The following are reasons why the islands shown in the figure have different population densities EXCEPT:

• Accessibility

• Employment

• Tourism

• Climate

Answer explanation

Population Density is calculated by dividing the total number of people over the land area.

Sparsely populated areas in the world are ​ (a)   . They are mostly found in the ​ (b)   such as the Arctic. There are some sparsely populated areas in ​ (c)   and ​ (d)   Asia, ​ and (e)   America.

• widely/unevenly spread
• polar areas
• north
• Central
• South
• West
• East
• Tropics
• low latitudes

The following are reasons how climate influence population distribution, EXCEPT:

• It's difficult to build bouses and transport routes in cold areas.

• Cold areas are perfect for tourism.

• Crops won't grow in cold places.

• Too much of a dry place is uninhabitable.
