Question

Short answer type question:

The Ganga-Brahmaputra Basin has varied topography. How does it affect the distribution of population there?

Answer 1

The basin area has a varied topography. As a result, the distribution of the population is not even everywhere in the area. The mountain areas with steep slopes have inhospitable terrain. Therefore less number of people live in the mountain area of the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin. The plain area provides the most suitable land for human habitation. Therefore, the density of the population of the plains is very high.
