  5. Amazon Rainforest • Too hot and wet for people • Dense forest makes communication difficult • Settlement opportunities are difficult • SPARSELY populated

  6. Antarctica • Too cold for people • No soils for crops • Snow and ice make bad communications • SPARSELY populated

  7. Bangladesh • Low lying and flat • Rich, fertile soil • Hot and wet • Ideal farming conditions • DENSELY populated

  8. Himalayan Mountains • Too cold for people • Steep slopes is bad communication and settlement • Poor, thin soil unsuitable for crops • SPARSELY populated
