How does the distribution of people on Earth (Figure 16.9) compare to the distribution of climate zones (Figure 16.8)? Which aspects of climate have the greatest influence on the distribution of population?

Figure 16.8 Köppen-Geiger climate regions. The Köppen-Geiger classification system divides Earth into climate regions, using average monthly temperatures, average monthly precipitation, and total annual precipitation. The six major climate regions are: A, tropical; B, dry; C, warm temperate; D, cool temperate; E, polar; and H, highland.
