10 'interesting' maps prove the world population is unevenly distributed
The world population is unevenly distributed across territories, in fact it is difficult to believe that it is true. The simple reason for this is because the terrain in many places is not suitable for humans to live.
Although our planet earth is large enough to accommodate billions of people, it does not mean providing enough food to feed them. The maps below will show us clearly what we are thinking at the present time is completely different from reality.
To understand more, see the facts about the world's population through 10 " interesting " maps below. They will surprise you!
