1. Population studies: Introduction
Learning intentions: We are learning about areas that are sparsely and densely populated.
Success criteria:
I can describe and explain the reasons for areas that are sparsely populated giving named examples.
I can describe and explain places that are densely populated giving named examples.

2. Population studies: Introduction
The population of the world is increasing
In the last 250 years the increase has been very rapid
Now the world’s population is over seven billion

3. Population studies: Introduction
There are some places where many people live
There are other parts of the world where few people live

4. Population studies: Introduction
Places where many people live are called densely populated
These include places like New York City

5. Population studies: Introduction
Parts of China can be very crowded too
So can cities such as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil

6. Population studies: Introduction
There are other areas where hardly anyone lives
These are places which are difficult for people to survive
The Himalaya mountains

7. Population studies: Introduction
Or the Andes in South America
Where the peaks rise to 20,000 feet above sea level
People live in the narrow valley bottoms

8. Population studies: Introduction
Or in the Rain forests of the Amazon Basin
The jungle is too hot and damp to live in

9. Population studies: Introduction
This place is too hot for people to live
And there is very little water from rain that hardly ever falls
Where is this place?

10. Population studies: Introduction
This is Uluru in Australia
Or as we have called it - Ayres Rock

11. Population studies: Introduction
And there are places which are too cold
Like Siberia
Or The South Pole

12. So remember
Densely populated is crowded
Sparsely populated is quite empty
