Notice that parts of the ecumene have different population densities. Climates found in the ecumene are neither too hot or too cold to live, however the areas outside the ecumene often have extreme tempetures and only few crops can grow there that's why they are not part of the ecumene.

Some of the earth's physical features can also make it hard to live. Like deserts are too hot and make it hard to support life. Most mountain regions have few people because it's too rugged for them. Most of the worlds population live with in the ecumene, the people who live in less populated area's find way to stay warm, keep cool, find water or even keep dry, even in the harshest conditions. <span style="color: #1f91e5; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Vocabulary <span style="color: #1f91e5; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Ecumene: A geographic region that is well suited for permanent settlement by people.
