Answer:
Density
of population is calculated as the number of persons per unit area.
The population density of India in 2001 was 324 persons per sq. km.
(i) Regions with sparse population density: Rugged
terrain and unfavourable climatic conditions are primarily responsible for
sparse population in these areas. For example, Jammu and Kashmir, Arunachal
Pradesh and Mizoram.
(ii) Regions with moderate population density:
Hilly, dissected and rocky nature of terrain, moderate to low rainfall, shallow
and less fertile soils have influenced the population densities in these areas.
For example, Assam and peninsular states.
(iii) Regions with high density of population:
These areas have high population density because of the flat plains with
fertile soils and abundant rainfall. For example, Northern plains and Kerala.
