Population maps and places

Today in Human Geo. we talked more about population. We looked at many maps. Some maps had squares. Each square was people per square kilometer or mile. Some of the darker squares are where it was more densely populated while lighter places were where it was less densely populated. Some maps even didn't have any blocks anywhere because no one livid there. Other maps had more detail while using color. They did this by using different colors which were darker and lighter than each other. These maps had more detail because they were not restricted to a box or a square. We also learned how people settle in clusters. By clusters they are cities or groups that live together. We talked about how humans avoid clustering in places like dry lands, wet lands, cold lands, and high lands. People cluster in low lying areas, fertile soil, temperate climate, near an ocean, or near a river with easy ocean access.
