Day 37 - Climate & Population Density

Is there a relationship between climate and where people live?

That is what we want to discover today. We will complete two thematic maps: Climate Map and Population Density Map. These maps will be of Eastern & Southern Asia. After completion we will determine if the climate of a place has any determination on whether people live there.

Motivating Questions:
  1. What is the influence of climate on each of the following: population distribution, agriculture, and industrial development?
  2. How has the geography of Southern & Eastern Asia affected population in terms of where people live, the type of work they do, and their systems of transportation?
  3. What efforts have been made to address major environmental concerns such as overpopulation, industrial pollution, and flooding in Southern & Eastern Asia?
