What to Focus On
- Settlement pattern depends on physical and human factors.
- Water supply is a major factor in settlement growth.
- Climate, slope, soil, and transport also influence settlement location.
- Nucleated settlements are closely packed.
- Dispersed settlements are scattered and spread out.
- Narmada Valley and paddy regions support nucleated settlements.
- Brazilian settlements developed mainly in coastal areas first.
- Coastal areas have good water supply and many natural resources.
- Sao Paulo is a nucleated settlement.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Nucleated settlements are always urban settlements.
Dispersed settlements are found mainly in flat cultivated regions.
Sao Paulo is a nucleated settlement just because it is coastal.
