question 14 (1 point)
two similar towns exist in two valleys on either side of a mountain range. one town has lots of hilly terrain, while the other town is relatively flat. what could you infer about the populations of the towns?

a people who like hills would move to the hilly town.

b they would be equal in population.

c the flat town would be more densely populated.

d the hilly town would be more densely populated.

Explanation:

Flat terrain is more suitable for constructing housing, infrastructure, and supporting larger, more concentrated human settlements. Hilly terrain presents challenges for development, limiting the density of habitable and buildable areas. Preferences for hills do not reliably drive large-scale population concentration, and there is no reason to expect equal populations given the terrain difference.

Answer:

c. The flat town would be more densely populated.
