Question

Using five or more complete sentences, describe the distribution of the populations of Europe and Russia. What do these regions have in common? How does climate affect population distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each year a higher percentage of the world’s population lives in urban areas. The UN projects that 50 percent of humanity will be living in urban areas for the first time ever by the end of this decade. By 2030, this figure is expected to reach 60 percent. This trend is due both to rural-to-urban migration as well as natural increase (the number of births minus deaths) in urban areas. Urbanization can be seen both in the proliferation of towns and cities, which is the main pattern in China, as well as the expansion of existing urban areas. In 1975, only five cities had more than 10 million inhabitants; by 2015, there will be 24.
