Question
Write short note
Effect of relief on population distribution
Solution
- Population is densely distributed on flat plains and gentle slopes.
- This is because such areas are favourable for the production of crops.
- It is easier to build roads and develop industries in these areas.
- The mountainous and hilly areas tend to be less populated.
- If means of livelihood are available, population can be concentrated in few such areas e.g. Dehradun, Leh, etc.
- Thus, it can be concluded that plateaus or mountainous areas are less populated than plains.
