Grade 6 · Social Studies · Lesson 15

Human geography: where people live

There are about 8 billion people on Earth, but they are spread out very unevenly. Some regions are packed shoulder-to-shoulder with millions of inhabitants per square kilometer; other regions are almost empty. Why? Geography (mountains, climate, fresh water, soil) sets the stage, but human choices (jobs, war, opportunity, family) decide where people actually end up living.
