Questions and Answers

What is topography?

  • The study of population distribution
  • The study of ancient civilizations
  • The physical features of the land (correct)
  • The study of climate patterns

    • Why do people tend to prefer living in flat areas near rivers?

  • Flat areas near rivers are fertile and suitable for agriculture (correct)
  • Flat areas near rivers have lower population density
  • Flat areas near rivers have more resources
  • Flat areas near rivers have better climate

    • Why do mountainous regions generally have less population?

  • Mountainous regions have extreme climates
  • Mountainous regions lack water and fertile soil
  • Rough terrain makes it less suitable for living (correct)
  • Mountainous regions have higher risk of natural disasters

    What are the effects of extreme climates on population distribution?

    <p>Extreme climates, such as extremely hot or cold regions, are generally avoided by people, leading to low population densities in these areas. Examples include the Sahara Desert and polar regions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Explain the impact of topography on population distribution in relation to agriculture.

    <p>Topography impacts population distribution by influencing the suitability of the land for agriculture. Flat areas, especially near rivers, are preferred due to their fertility, while mountainous regions have less population due to their rough terrain, which is less suitable for agriculture.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Why do areas with abundant water and fertile soil tend to have higher population densities?

    <p>Areas with abundant water and fertile soil tend to have higher population densities because they are suitable for agriculture, which can support larger populations.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What role does the availability of resources play in population distribution?

    <p>The availability of resources, particularly water and fertile soil, significantly affects population distribution. Areas with abundant water and fertile soil tend to have higher population densities as they are suitable for agriculture and human settlement.</p> Signup and view all the answers
