Answer:
- India has a higher population density than China
- Europe has a higher population density than the United States
- Australia's population density is less than China's
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a common misconception that if a country has a lot of people than the population density will be high, or if it has small population, the population density will be small. This all depends on the total population and the size of the area in which that population lives. China is the most populous country in the world, followed closely by India, but China has much larger territory, so its population density is actually smaller than the one of India. On the other hand, China has higher population density than Australia, as the territory of them both is similar in size, but Australia has very small population on its vast territory. Europe as a continent has a higher population density than the United States, yet alone if some of the European countries are individually compared with the United States. The reason for this is that Europe has similar size as the United States, but more than twice the population on that area.
