Question

Explain the reason why Canada is thinly populated although it is the second largest country in the world.

Answer 1

Like Russia, most of Canda's area is a tundra and hard to live in.

Answer 2

Answer:

Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia, and also the northernmost. It occupies about half of the territory of North America. Because of its climate, it is one of the 15 countries with the lowest population density in the world, with approximately 4 inhabitants per square kilometer.

Explanation:

The northern region of Canada is literally in the Arctic Circle and in winter can reach temperatures close to 40 degrees below zero. In addition, the southern regions, both to the west in Vancouver, and to the east in Ottawa, Toronto or Montreal are basically extensions of North American cities across the border.

For this reason, only the southern part of the country is populated, due to the harsh weather conditions of the rest of the country.
