Answer 2

Explanation:

• These soils are deficient in nitrogen (N), phosphorus and organic matter.

• Generally, alluvial soils range from near neutral to slightly alkaline in reaction.

• A wide variety of crops is grown in these soils.

• If the soil is fertile, then the population starts to settle there as they want fertile soil for cultivation.

• On the other hand, if the soil is infertile one, then less or no cultivation is possible there. So the fertility of soil affects the distribution of the population.
