high population density: flat lowlands (Netherlands) - 4Climatelow population density: high humidity, unreliable rainfall, extreme cold (Amazon, Sahara, Arctic)
high population density: reliable rainfall, abundant sunlight, food production sources - 5Diseases + pestslow population density: malaria causes high death rate in Tropical Africa (Mozambique)
high population density: climates outside tropics due to less serious disease (Singapore, Japan) - 6Soilslow population density: frozen soil prevents food production (Arctic)
