Human Habitability - Climate Zone Population Density

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Have you ever wondered which parts of the Earth support the greatest concentrations of population? And if so, what would be the leading cause of this? Human settlement is determined by many factors, such as proximity of trade routes (rivers and coasts, defence and imposed governmental policy. But perhaps the greatest influence is that of climate, and through it, the ability of the land to support population through agriculture. - In this video we combine the results of the analysis of climate types by total population and land area to produce perhaps the most telling of all metrics relating to climate and habitability - the index of population density. The ultimate statistical geographic analysis of climate and population

The continental climates are the sorts that people often try to get out of because they are unpleasant. Winters are cold, and summers are often sultry, so one gets the worst of both hot and cold seasons. One obvious fact about continental climates is that one can get one crop a year even if the soils are fertile. Those may be quick-growing grains, and they may be grown in quantity. On the northern fringe of the moist subtropical zone (southeast Pennsylvania, northern Arkansas) one might get three crops in two years. That makes a difference.

Hello -GeoDiode! I really hope you read this comment! Will you ever make a video on the Polar Vortex? It's a very important climatological phenomenon in North America, specially because it explains why do North American winters get WAAAAY colder than their counterparts in Europe or Africa. It's the phenomenon that brings very cold mornings in winter to my city (Guadalajara) and I'm glad for that.

When you say that Mediterranean managed to come above Oceanic through more efficient agricultural process, remember that Oceanic countries tend to export a lot (France, Netherlands&Germany are in the top 6 of food exports, the other two are US and China)
Edit: when I say export a lot I imply that they export a lot of food partly toward the Mediterrane.

Your conclusions are only partially correct. You cannot really areas that have been densely populated for a very long time (Europe, China, India) with places like the US that have only fairly recently been seriously settled and third world countries that can still expect a huge rise in population thanks to progress.

7: 32 - Forgot to say, Humid Subtropical is not only most populated and most densely populated climate zone but also most frequently appeared in Anime places since many of the Anime series were set at West and East Japan cities, towns and rurals (mostly Humid Subtropical zone distributed.

Coming from a Peruvian family, I would have never guessed the Subtropical Highland was one of the most hospitable climate zones in the world with such high human density considering it-s a rare and not found everywhere. Funny how this climate is so common in Latin America

Oceanic is the best/most comfortable. Mediterranean and humid sub tropical are unlivable for between 2 months and half the year. Sof being unlivable for 2 months, and greece being unlivable for closer to 4, to the south east usa only being livable in the winter.

Why are you clubbing hot desert and semi arid region as one. you have distinguish between ice cap and tundra. semi arid higher elevation region of India are much more habitable then hot desert region. its should be separated. anaways great article

Hi, I'm wondering if you could do a video on subpolar oceanic, so tempurature and precip graphs on Lofoten, Scottish Highlands, and maybe add Tromso. Thankyou it would be much appreciated if you do.
reply

Excellent video you have, but why the hotter climates like humid subtropical (which not the tropical climates) is more habitable than the colder climates, like oceanic?
But nice job making vids

reply

It would be interesting to see how these zones transitioned during Ice Ages. During the last Glacial Maximum, I wonder where we could find the continental climate, or the humid subtropical.
reply

Hmm now I know that many people dont like to live in Ice Cap and Tundra Climate than the Cool Deserts and Hot Deserts
Most people like Warmer Climates rather than a Harsh Cold Climate

reply

could you talk about transition climate zones? like web have climate zones but how does one climate zone change another one, how this zone looks like and stuff like this
reply

Glad to see you're using the new Koppen map data from 1981-2016. The old one was very inaccurate when it came to showing climate in mountains.
reply

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed this revealing study of climate habitability. Say hi, and let me know which climate zone and country you're in!
reply

the climate that is the most suitable 4 human development is neither the coldest or the warmest, it is the ones right in between those.
reply

Makes me wonder how climate change over the next 100 years will change the habitability of these warmer areas especially in summer.
reply

I got like: humm. is something in this map different? but the comments showed what is really happening
reply

Why does the humid subtropical portion of the US have such a sharp cut-off point at its western extreme?
reply

Population is a problem for our forest friends. The biggest problem right now which is Global Warming.
