Question

why do we find nucleated settlements around the river​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleated settlements also develop higher up a slope to avoid flooding. Often we see nucleated settlements where people have settled on flat lowland areas, where the town can expand in many directions. Route centres often create settlements with a nucleated pattern which grow up around a crossroad.
