Why can density be high in a fertile river valley and low in high Himalayas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because river valleys offer fertile land, water and transport facilities, whereas high altitude and rugged relief in the Himalayas make settlement difficult

Fertile river valleys support dense population because they provide level land, water, fertile soil, farming opportunities and better transport. In contrast, high Himalayan areas have steep slopes, harsh climate, limited level land and difficult access, which restrict settlement. Option C is incorrect because level land for farming is generally scarce in the high Himalayas. Exam tip: compare factors such as land, climate, water and transport when explaining population density.
