Definition
稠密 (chóu mì) means 'dense' and typically describes population, vegetation, or hair that is thickly and evenly distributed. It highlights high density within an area, while the near-synonym 密集 (mì jí) emphasizes objects or people being tightly packed together (as in密集的建筑). 稠密 is more formal/descriptive, whereas 密集 can also be used adverbially (密集训练).
