Which has the higher population density: The United States or Russia and the Republic? Why?
A: I believe the United States has the higher population density because ?
You're right, the U.S. has a much higher population density than Russia.
What have you learned about the climate and regions of Russia that discourage people from living there?
I have learned that the climate and regions of Russia is severely cold.
Right. The western part of Russia isn't bad, but Siberia, which takes up much of the country, is almost uninhabitable.

To determine which country has a higher population density between the United States and Russia, we need to calculate the population density of each country and compare the results.
Population density is calculated by dividing the population of a country by its land area. The formula is:
Population Density = Population / Land Area
First, we need to find the latest population and land area data for both countries. According to the World Bank, as of 2020, the population of the United States is approximately 331 million, while the land area is about 9.8 million square kilometers (3.8 million square miles).
For Russia, the population is around 145 million, and the land area is about 17.1 million square kilometers (6.6 million square miles).
Now, let's calculate the population density for each country:
United States Population Density = 331 million / 9.8 million sq km ≈ 33.8 people per square kilometer
Russia Population Density = 145 million / 17.1 million sq km ≈ 8.5 people per square kilometer
Comparing the results, we can see that the United States has a higher population density than Russia. The United States has approximately 33.8 people per square kilometer, while Russia has around 8.5 people per square kilometer.
Therefore, the United States has a higher population density than Russia.
