Question

where did settlements grow?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

settlements grow in a line, often along roads, river valleys or the coast. Nucleated settlements have buildings grouped close together and are found at cross roads or are used for defence purposes. Dispersed settlements have individual buildings spread out, and are often found in rural areas.

Answer 2

Answer:

Settlements grew near the river valleys because plenty of water was available there and land was fertile.
