(a) Explain any four factors that-determine population distribution
(b) Describe any two types of population movement
(c) What four problems are associated with any one of the types of population movement described in (b)
Explanation
(a) Four factors that determine population distribution are;
(i) Climate: temperature extremes, i.e too high and too low temperature lead to sparse population while moderate temperature leads to dense population
(ii) Relief; Low relief leads to dense population while rugged relief leads to sparse population
(iii) Minerals: Presence of minerals leads to high population while absence of minerals leads to low population
(iv) Soil:Fertile soil attracts dense population while poor soils attract low population
(b) Two types of population movement are:
(i) Rural-Urban Movement
(ii) Urban-Rural Movement
(c) Four problems of Rural-Urban migration
(i) Population pressure on land
(ii) Congestion (traffic, housing)
(iii) Increase in crime wave
(iv) Unemployment
