How do the physiographic economic factors influence the distribution pattern of the indian railway network ?
Answers
Physiographic factors:-
In India geographic conditions play an important in construction of railways.
For eg.,
> In the north eastern parts of India due to high mountains and slopy areas railway network is not as dense as in other plane surfaces.
Economic factors :-
In day to day lives people are getting modern and busy also trade and transport has also increased it has been only possible due to the wide railway networks in and around planes.
For eg.,
> In India there are more transport facilities in more economic areas such as railways or roadways.
Explanation:
1. The level and extensive northern plains with high density of population, high density of population, high industrial activity and rich agriculture, favour development of railways. However the wide rivers that flow here cannot be crossed without bridges which become an additional cost for railways.
2. The high relief, sparse population and lack of economic opportunities in the Himalayan region create unfavorable conditions for laying the railway lines. Frequent landslides and rock fall are additional problem.
3. The peninsular regions with their hilly terrains also make it different to lay railway tracks. In such areas, railway tracks have to be laid through low hills or gaps or tunnels.
4. The low flood plains of Assam and Bihar, where floods are common, have difficulty in maintaining railway lines.
5. Deserts of Rajasthan and the hilly tracks of the Sahayadris were unfavorable for development of railways
