If rural-to-urban migration is rapid, what pressure can increase in cities?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure on housing, transport, water and employment

The direct answer is A. Rapid rural-to-urban migration brings many additional people into cities within a relatively short period. These people need houses, transport, drinking water, sanitation, electricity, schools, health services and work. If construction, public transport and other services do not expand at the same pace, existing facilities become crowded and the pressure on housing, water supply, roads and jobs rises. A is correct because each listed item is a normal urban need affected by sudden population growth. B is wrong because migration does not cause glaciers to expand. C is a physical geographical change and is not a normal consequence of people moving to cities. D is the opposite of what happens: migration increases the city’s population. Memory cue: more urban residents mean more demand for urban services.
