Which of these is the BEST explanation for the sparse population in China's western regions? Question 14 options: The region is
subjected to typhoons. The region has been ruled by warlords. The region is dominated by desert and high elevations. The region remains destroyed from World War II combat.
The correct answer is - The region is dominated by desert and high elevations.
Most of the population of China is concentrated in the eastern half of the country, while the western half is very sparsely populated. The main reason for this is the geography and the climate of this part of China.
The western half of the country is dominated by high mountains, the highest in the world actually, the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, deserts and semi arid ares. All of these places are not suitable for living, especially not for larger populations, so there's towns and villages that far away from one another, and they have relatively small populations.
