Question

why do people prefer to live in plains and platues rather thsn mountains?

Answer 1

People prefer to live on plains rather than mountains and plateaus because these areas are suitable for farming, manufacturing and service activities. The Ganga plains are the most densely populated areas of the world while mountains like Andes, Alps and Himalayas are sparsely populated.

Answer 2

People prefer to live in plains and plateaus due to fertile soil, temperature, favorable climate, adequate amount of rain, easy availability of water, sources of energy and minerals, etc.

Explanation:

• The population density in coastal plains, as well as, plateaus is extremely high as compared to mountains because of the easy availability of sources.
• The temperature in mountains regions is lower which makes it difficult for people to survive. Secondly, the rivers make the soil fertile and allow the water cycle to continue fluently in coastal regions bringing proper rainwater which makes farming easy.
• The sources of energy and minerals allow the industries to settle and grow. Thus, the majority reside in these regions.
