Why Mongolia Is 99.7% Empty? #shorts

Mongolia is the size of Alaska, but almost nobody lives there, and here's why.
Mongolia gets only 12 inches of rain per year - that's desert-level dry. Imagine trying to grow
food with barely any water.
The entire country sits at high altitude with brutal winters hitting -40° Celsius. Most of the ground
stays frozen year-round, making farming impossible.
Here's the shocking part: 100% of Mongolia's 3.4 million people squeeze into just 0.03% of the
land. That's like everyone in Los Angeles living in one neighborhood.
In the 1700s, Buddhism convinced so many men to become monks that the population actually
shrank. Fewer families meant fewer babies.
Today, half the population crowds into one city - Ulaanbaatar. And the rest? Still empty
wilderness. Subscribe for more geography facts.
