Question

Explain any three physical factors influencing the agricultural development in an area

Answer 1

Physical Factors

Physical factors affecting agriculture are: (i) climate (ii) soil and (iii) topography.

1. Climate:- It plays a dominating role in agriculture. Plants require sufficient heat and moisture for their growth. Normally, regions having maximum temperature of less than 10°C are not suitable for plant growth. In the tropical regions, where temperature is high throughout the year, agriculture is successfully done.

Plant life is not possible in dry areas except that with the help of irrigation.

2 Soil :- Different types of soil provide different types of vegetation. Such as Sandy soil supports cactus and thorny bushes while alluvial soil supports wheat, rice, etc So, the crop production is depends on the nature of he soil

3 Topography:- The nature of topography plays a significant role in the development of agriculture. It determines extent of soil erosion, methods of cultivation and mode of transportation. In the mountanous and hilly regions, soil erosion is common; terrain restricts use of machinery and development of means of transportation.

Moreover, dense population in the plain regions provides cheap agricultural labour and a huge market for the products. The alluvial plains, the river valleys and the deltas are very suitable for agriculture.
