Answer:

Resource distribution depends on a number of factors. Some of these important factors are:

(i) Terrain: The terrain of a region largely determines its suitability for human settlement. Flat, alluvial plains have better farming soils than steeper and rockier uplands.

(ii) Plateaus: Plateaus are the important areas for minerals. In these places, lots of minerals are present.

(iii) Climate: Some mineral deposits are formed, improved or preserved by geological processes that occur in arid lands as a consequence of climate.

(iv) Altitude: Variations in the temperature at different altitudes results in the distribution of earth?s vegetation into different zones, such as tropical rain forests, desert or grasslands, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, tundra regions, ice and snow at poles, etc.
