World Population Maps

  

   The three maps chosen above illustrate the population of the world. The first map illustrates the population of all the seven continents and the islands of the world. The world map illustrates that Indian is the most populated country with 1,000 billion residing in Indian. The second most populated area is also located in Asia. China is the second most populated country in the world. China has a population of 300-1000 billion people. Most of the Chinese reside in the coastal east area. In Latin America Mexico is the country with most Latinos with a population of 75-100 billion. In Europe the countries with the most population are Italy and German with 300 – 1,000 billion people residing in their boarders. The interesting thing about the map is that the two most populated countries are located in Asia.
