Question

How do minerals and industries affect the distribution of population? Explain.

Answer

Minerals and industries affect the distribution of population in these ways:

Minerals: The presence of minerals like coal and iron ore in different parts of the world has attracted huge population in these areas because these minerals are required for iron and steel industry.

Industries: Development of industries in any region has a very favourable impact on employment opportunities. Industrial hubs attract people from far-off places.
