This document discusses the relationship between land relief and land use. It begins by defining land use as how humans utilize land for settlement, communication, and economic activities. It then examines how relief impacts these land uses, with flat areas generally supporting dense settlement and extensive road networks, while hilly or mountainous areas typically have more dispersed rural populations and less dense road infrastructure. Various economic activities like agriculture are also shown to depend on relief, with large-scale farming usually occurring on flatland. In summary, the document analyzes how relief influences patterns of human occupation and activity on the landscape.

IntroductionIntroduction
Topographical maps show the relief of an area as well as
how land is used for communication, settlement and
industries.This combination makes it possible for us to
understand the relationships seen on maps.
This power point presentation will help you to describe
and analyze the relationship between relief and the pattern
and types land use.

Flat areas such as
plains usually support
urban settlements.
Settlement pattern is
usually compact or
nucleated. Settlements
in these areas cover
an extensive area. It is
much easier to
construct buildings on
flat land

bridges and embankments have
to be constructed. Road density
is low in hilly or mountainous
