If water is available but land is very rocky and steep why can settlement be low?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Difficult relief limits farming, transport and construction

Even when water is available, rocky and steep slopes make farming, road building, house construction and movement difficult and expensive. Therefore, settlement may remain sparse in such areas. Option B is wrong because water generally supports settlement, although its effect can be limited by factors such as relief. Exam tip: assess water, relief, climate and soil together when explaining population distribution.
