How India surpass China as the most populous country in the world, Why?
A thread on geography, weather and population of India and why it is so?
Why the band up in the North India is dense?
It’s the Ganges river basin. It hosts-nearly half the country’s entire population.
It’s one of the most densest places on earth.
Why?
Because it’s one of the most fertile places on earth.
It’s one of the main producers of wheat, peas, potatoes, rice, lentils and eggplants and why is it so fertile?
• It’s hot (tropical)
• It rains a lot
• It has many rivers bringing water and irrigation
• the river also brings fertilizing silts.
Why so much water?
The mountains
– Wind comes from the ocean full of water
– Climbs up
– Gets colder
– the water condensates and rains down
Here in a satellite image we can see India is much greener than Tibet
That is where the mountain stops the water from the wind.
Which makes ideally and environmentally suitable for humans to live along the Ganges belt.
One of the most densely populated regions.
