Question

Give geographical reason.

Regional development depends upon topography.

Answer 1

1. The physical factors like climate and relief of a region affects its development. Areas where land is less fertile, water is scarce, diseases flourish will be less developed.
2. For example, the regions located in the tropical rainforests. On the other hand, fertile land, favourable climate and good rainfall promote the development. For example, Mediterranean region.
3. The physical setting of a region is also very important. If regions are landlocked or located in high mountain ranges or if there is a lack of navigable rivers, long coastlines or good natural harbors, then even in presence of other natural resources, the region may not develop well.
