Question

Give one reason why more people prefer to settle in areas of flat land than on steep slopes​

Answer 1

Farmers prefer to settle in flat areas such as plains and valleys.

Flat land gave farmers more room to plant crops. The rich soil in coastal plains and river valleys was great for growing crops.

Plains are more suitable to agriculture than plateaus because they have deep, fertile soil.

I also had to answer this question, good thing I found it on my quizlet flashcards.

Answer 2

more people prefer to settle in areas of flat land than on steep slopes because it's safer. if someone settled their house on a steep slope there's a high chance that their house might get knocked down the slope during a natural disaster or something. but if it's on a flat piece of land then that's probably not gonna happen.

also it's easier to make farms on flat land rather than steep slopes.
