Question

Give Geographical Reasons For The Following Statement: Settlements Are Sparse In Northeastern Brazil.

Answer 1

Settlements are sparse in North-eastern Brazil because settlement in an area depends upon many factors, including the climate, land patterns, availability of employment, etc.

Northeastern Brazil is the region of rainforest and rural areas, such as the northeast highlands, suffer from extreme droughts, which make it difficult for practising agriculture and hence settlements are sparse here.
