Which two areas are the least densely populated

Australia and Northern Asia
North America and Europe
South East Asia and Africa
South America and North America

Answer 1

• Australia and Northern Asia

Step-by-step explanation:

Australia is considered the most sparsely populated country with a density of 3.4 persons per square kilometre of total land area. This is the country has deserted geography. It does not contain much population as much as its mass is being concerned. It can safely allow immigrants to live there because its population is not breeding at a high rate. The area in Australia becomes quickly uninhabited when its areas get damaged. Australia is too fragile land, that’s why it has the least population.

North Asia is least populated because of its cold climate due to high altitude and latitude. It is the largest sub-region of Asia by area but also sparsely populated. It has a population of only 33 million people. It’s comprised of folded and faulted mountains of moderate height. Because of the deserts, high mountains, and it has a region with temperatures below zero are sparsely populated.

Answer 2

Australia and Northern Asia

Step-by-step explanation:

Australia and Northern Asia are the two least densely populated areas in the world.

Australia is the largest island in the world, but it has very low population density because the vast majority of its territory is either arid or semi-arid.

Northern Asia includes Siberia, the Asian part of Russia, which has a population density of only 6.7 persons per square mile. While Siberia is not a desert, most of it is occupied by vast taiga forests with very few settlements scattered mainly in the southern half of the region.
