Answers
Answer:
The main factors determining population distribution are : climate, landforms, topography, soil, energy and mineral resources, accessibility like distance from sea coast, natural harbours, navigable rivers or canals, cultural factors, political boundaries, controls on migration and trade, government policies, types of ...
Explanation:
Answer:
1:-
1) Agriculture. Areas with well developed farming of crops or animals are often densely populated.
2) Secondary industry. Those areas in which manufacturing has developed tend to be densely populated. ...
3) Accessibility. ...
4) Political decisions. ...
5) Conflict.
2:-
Landslides can be initiated in slopes already on the verge of movement by rainfall, snow melt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.
3:-
The soil temperature greatly affects the physio-chemical and biological processes of the soil. Temperature of soil depends upon the temperature of atmospheric air and on moisture content. It is controlled by climate, colour of soil, slope, and altitude of the land and also by vegetation cover of the soil.
4:-
Conservation Tillage: Conventional tillage produces a smooth surface that leaves soil vulnerable to erosion. Conservation tillage methods such as no-till planting, strip rotary tillage, chiselling, and diking leave more of the field surface covered with crop residue that protects the soil from eroding forces.
