Why is dense settlement in the Northern Plains a geographical result and not only a population fact?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because level land, fertile alluvial soil and adequate water favour settlement and agriculture

The level surface of the Northern Plains is suitable for farming, transport and building settlements. Alluvial soil deposited by the Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra river systems is highly fertile, and water is relatively available. These geographical conditions support agriculture, livelihoods and urban growth, resulting in dense settlement. Option B describes mountainous terrain, which contrasts with the plains. Exam tip: Link relief, soil, water availability and farming potential when explaining settlement patterns.
