INTRODUCTION

IntroductionIntroduction

Topographical maps show the relief of an area as well as how land is used for communication, settlement and industries. This combination makes it possible for us to understand the relationships seen on maps.

This power point presentation will help you to describe and analyze the relationship between relief and the pattern and types land use.

Flat areas such as plains usually support urban settlements. Settlement pattern is usually compact or nucleated. Settlements in these areas cover an extensive area. It is much easier to construct buildings on flat land

INTRODUCTION


It is difficult and sometimes impossible to construct roads in mountainous areas. In hilly areas bridges and embankments have to be constructed. Road density is low in hilly or mountainous areas.http://www.ubertramp.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=460:highway-to-hell-bolivias-road-of-death&catid=60:destination-based-articles&Itemid=432
