Settlement

Question 1

Question 2

Answer 2

1- close to main roads
2-close to water 
3-high lands
4- shelter from the elements 
5- flat land

Question 3

Explain why do we find different settlement patterns.

Answer 3

Because sometimes we want to have enough land for farming and sometimes we want our town to be built around a crossroad. When we find linear settlement pattern is usually next to coast because the sea is stopping it from growing towards there so it’s grows in rows.
