Answer 1

The population in South America is distributed mainly along the coastal areas of the continent. Large population centers tend to be located on or near the coasts, particularly on the eastern and northern coasts, such as in Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. There are also significant populations along the western coast in countries like Chile and Peru. The interior of the continent, particularly the Amazon Rainforest and the Andean highlands, is less densely populated.
