3 Factors that Influence Population DistributionFactor 1:
Environmental
+ What type of natural resources are in the area?
+ Does it have oil, or fertile land or access to water?
+ What is the climate like?+ Does it have resources such as
transportation and technology?

3 Factors that Influence Population DistributionFactor 3:
Political Factors
