Very low density of population is recorded in which zone of northern hemisphere?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → High latitudinal zone
In the Northern Hemisphere, the high latitudinal zone (near the Arctic Circle and polar regions) records very low population density due to:
-
Extremely cold climate
-
Permafrost and poor soil fertility
-
Limited economic opportunities
-
Difficult living conditions
In contrast, equatorial and low latitudinal zones tend to have higher population densities due to favorable climates and fertile lands.
