Question

Life in the mountainous region is difficult. Explain.

Answer 1

Life in mountainous regions is very difficult owing to the below-mentioned reasons:

• The uneven topography makes it difficult to build proper infrastructure in the form of roads, hospitals, schools, etc.
• Access to these regions is very difficult and very risky too.
• Generally, the temperature in these regions is very low; this makes it difficult for the people to stay there.
• The land available for cultivation is very less. Hence, people are dependent on plains for their needs.
• The hilly areas are far-flung; hence, the development in these areas is slow.
