Population distribution & Density of United States As we all know, US is one of the most powerful country in the world. But today I will be talking about the population distribution of US. When you look at the world map, there are two countries has the similar sizes with US: Brazil and China. Compare to three of them, China has the highest population. Brazil has less people than China (Canadian Geographic Enterprises). US is having a moderate population. In China, the population distribution patterns are the southeast part has a dense population and in the northwest is having a sparse population. The population distribution patterns in eastern America is clustered, people are

You don’t want to live in a place that has pollution. Natural environment has a strong influence on population distribution. There are four favorable environments characteristics: fertile soil, fairly flat land, ideal conditions for agriculture, and transportations. Agriculture is one of most important industries in United States. According to census of agriculture in 2007, there were 2.2 million farms and covering with 922 million acres. Even though agricultural happens in all states of America, it’s particularly concentrated in the Green Plains, a vast of flat land, the arable land is in the center of US and in the region around the Great Lakes as known as the Corn Belt. (Agriculture in the United States). The small farms in US are decreasing and since 1946 the people who are working in agriculture has been cut to half. 40% of the land in United States is used for agriculture. The largest single crop includes corn which are accounted for more than half of the nation’s crop. There have been dramatic improvements on agricultural technology in US. Including the farming machines, scientific soil and crop analysis. As the population grows, there are less arable land in countries closest to the densest populations declined. Population density is also related to other land uses when there are more people in a given area and required things like

The climate in United States are really depends on its own latitude. Most of the region is warm and sub tropical, precipitation and groundwater are very rich. It’s conducive to the development of industrial and agricultural production, it’s very unique. Only the southern part of the Florida peninsula is tropical; California Alaska is located in north latitude 60 to 70 degrees, it’s the cold Arctic climate zone; Hawaii Prefecture is located in the south of the tropic of cancer and it’s a tropical area (Climate of the United States). The climate in US is very suitable place for people to live
