China

Like i stated above, majority of the people live near the coast of this country because another reason might be that since china has a body of water connecting to it, the people that live near near the coast have an easier time trading to the other countries. And by doing this people will have an easier time of trading then the people that live in ward. Also people live near the coast because that's where the big cities are and where there are big cities there are jobs for people. some of the biggest cites include Shanghai, Beijing and some of the biggest bushiness companies come from those cites. Such as the biggest oil company in china called the Sinopec (located in Beijing.)

China's population pyramid

Population density

To calculate the population density, you have to divide the number of people living in a country by the land area in which they live in

Therefore his states that china has about 144.10 people per km2. (rounded to 144 because you can't have .10 of a person)

China population density = about 1,363,950,000

---------------------------- =144.10 people per km2

about 96,000,000

From the pyramid you can see that between both boys and girls, they have majority of there population in the age of 40-44. You can see that in the 2010 chart the pattern of the bars start off at a pretty long base this states that china has a pretty large birth rate but in the 2050 chart you can see that the birth rate gets lowered. In the future you can see that there is a lager need for retirement homes because of the larger amount of elderly people.(but you can also see that generally the females are healthier then the man.

Location Comparison

People that live in china live near

the coast because in china a lot of the mountains are located in the middle of china. This is why there is a higher population density near the coast of the country. The people that live near the coast get advantages to fishing as where people that live further in land, won't as much.

In this picture you can see that majority of the people live in the east south part of china because you can see the landforms such as mountains that block people to build there. (But building there is not impossible.) You can also see that the pattern of the human settlement is clustered in the east/south, but from the center to the west you can see that the country is as well scattered

i would say that china would be developing country. I say this because if you compare china to Canada (which is a developed country), you can see that in a big chunk of the categories, china is being beat.

Industries

China has a tie of being both a primary industry and a secondary industry. If you look in majority of our stores today you can see that a big chuck of our items that we buy are being made in china such as clothing and furniture. Also China has a lot of agricultural/ natural resources that are being used as exported goods to other countries, such as rice, wheat, corn and bean.

Yes there is a relationship of the availability of resources and how rich a country is because, if you have a country that is poor, then that country will still have resources but just not as much as other richer countries. This is because richer countries can just simply buy the items they need off other countries and make a living off of that. There is also a relationship between the main type of industry and whether the country is developed or developing because when a developing and developed country both have one main industry, the developed country is going to come out on the top because a developed country would mean that they would have better technology and get access to a better government structure. This states that developed counties would be better at trading with other countries and getting good materials and would benefit them. While developing countries would not be able to get there products out there as fast.
