Getting lost somewhere in the Netherlands without finding road signs or people to help is nearly impossible. The degree of land use can be seen in this satellite photo of an agricultural area in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Part-of-the-Netherlands.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-400\" title=\"Part of the Netherlands\" src=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Part-of-the-Netherlands.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"822\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Part-of-the-Netherlands.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Part-of-the-Netherlands-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Part-of-the-Netherlands-1024x767.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/a>This pattern can also be observed over the world where all the moderate areas are populated.<br \/>\nSource: Wikipedia<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/World_population_density_1994.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-418\" title=\"World_population_density_1994\" src=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/World_population_density_1994.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"832\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/World_population_density_1994.png 1300w, https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/World_population_density_1994-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/pierie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/World_population_density_1994-1024x662.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently there are over seven billion (7,000,000,000) people walking around on the earth.
