Solution
- Availability of water: It is the most important factor in life. People prefer to live in areas where fresh water is readily available. Water is essential for the development of agriculture and carrying out day-to-day activities.
- Landforms: People prefer to live in flat plains and gentle slopes, as they are favourable for crop production and for building roads and industries.
- Climate: People prefer living in areas that do not have extreme climatic conditions, that is, areas that do not have high diurnal and annual temperature ranges, and also have adequate rainfall.
- Soils: Fertile soils are important for agricultural and allied activities. Therefore, areas with fertile loamy soils have more people living there, as they can support intensive agriculture.
