Answer:


\boxed{\mathrm{view \ explanation}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Population density is a measurement of population per land area.


\displaystyle \sf population \ density =(population)/(land \ area)

The population density of a place tells us whether the place occupied by the population is densely or sparsely populated.

Population density is a measurement of the number of people in an area. It is an average number. A look at population density of a place tells us whether that place is easy or difficult to live in. Sparsely populated places tend to be difficult to live in and such are places that usually have hostile environments e.g. Antarctica. On the other hand, places which are densely populated are habitable environments such as Europe or the Indo - Gangetic Plain in India.
