Answer 1

Two important factors responsible for the location of industries in the Deccan Trap region are:

1. Availability of raw materials: The Deccan Trap region has abundant black cotton soil which is suitable for the cultivation of cotton. This raw material availability supports the growth of cotton textile industries in the region.
2. Power: The region developed hydroelectric power in the Western Ghats area despite the coal being far removed. This reliable supply of power has been essential for industrial growth.
