question_answer 1)

Study the figure 6.3 and compare it with figure 2.4 and figure 4.7. Do you find any correlation between these maps?

Answer:

Yes, these maps show that the nature of relief and amount of rainfall act as determinants of the population density in an area. The areas with high density of population (501 and above persons per sq km) are those areas which are the plains and having high rainfall. Such areas are good for agriculture and so more people live in these areas. The areas with least population (100 and below persons per sq km) are hilly areas and so mostly unsuitable for habitation.
