6. Population distribution (1)

7. Population Distribution (2)

8. Observations Densely populated in the west (European Russia) Sparsely populated in the north and east (Siberia) Moderately populated in the south

9. Reasons Physical factors 1. Availability of water 2. Landscape (relief) 3. Climate 4. Natural resources Human factors 1. Job opportunities 2. Transportation

10. Physical factor (1) Water- rivers

11. Physical factor (2) Relief

12. Physical factor (3) Climate, e.g. average temperature and rainfall

13. Rainfall

14. Physical factor (4) Natural resources, including oil, wood, coal and fertile soil

15. Oil

16. Wood

17. Human factor (1) Transportation, such as major roads and railways, as well as some ports

19. Population distribution Uneven Densely populated in the west and south west Moderately populated along the border in the south Sparsely populated in the north and north east

20. Reasons Why is it densely populated in European Russia? Why is it sparsely populated in Siberia? Why is it moderately populated in the south of Siberia?

21. European Russia Densely populated because: More transportation More communication Warmer than Siberia Flat land that is close to sea level Sufficient rainfall

22. Siberia Sparsely populated because: Annual average temperature is very low Insufficient rainfall Long winters Transportation is not as developed More mountains South of Siberia is slightly warmer
