Describe the general population distribution of East Asia.





What will be an ideal response?


East Asia vies with South Asia as the world's most populous region. Population distribution is not uniform across East Asia. The rugged topography of Japan shoehorns its people into several narrow coastal plains, giving Japan some of the highest population densities in the world. China has several pockets of high population density. Most notably the floodplain of Yellow River in northern China and the Sichuan Basin of central China. Much of western China is a high-altitude desert which is virtually uninhabited.
