How have landforms and climate influence where people live in these countries?

Landforms and climate significantly influence where people live in countries. For example, mountainous areas may have fewer inhabitants due to the rugged terrain and limited resources, while coastal regions are often more densely populated for trade, fishing, and access to water. Harsh climates like deserts or tundra can deter settlement, while temperate regions with fertile soil are more attractive for agriculture and human habitation.
