1. Where is Canada most thinly populated?
2. Which area is most densely populated?
3. Name two other highly populated areas. How do these highly
populated areas relate to the location of Canada’s main urban
centers?
4. How accurate is it to say that Canada’s population is mainly
concentrated along the US/Canada border (islands of
population-Archipelago)
5. Why can’t you only examine population density when studying
population distribution (see Canada vs Netherlands example
on page 44)
