Read the section titled "factors affecting population density." how do resources and climates affect population density?

The population density is the quantification of the amount of people who live in a certain area. In units, it is the quantity of people per squared kilometre. Therefore, densily populated areas are those which have more people per km2.

There are two types of factors which determine the population density in an area:
