Population density map of the world shows that large concentrations of people live in specific areas. Which of the following reasons is the least important in determining a suitable area for settlement?
- Available fresh water
- Productive soil
- Transport facilities
- Suitable temperature range
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Transport facilities
Fresh water, productive soil and a suitable temperature range are natural conditions that a settlement cannot do without, and the densest populations of the world grow up where all three are found. Transport facilities can be built after people settle, so they are the least important of the four in deciding where a settlement first arises.
