1. Use Google Earth to explore real-world examples of settlement patterns. Identify one linear settlement along a river, one clustered settlement, and one dispersed rural area.

2. Take screenshots, write brief notes on why the pattern might have developed in that way.

Linear settlement due to less flat land

# data[].attributes.body
Dispersed settlement due to upland areas and is a place for growing crops

Recommended Country: India

1. Linear Settlement along a River: Varanasi, situated along the banks of the Ganges River, is a prime example of a linear settlement that follows the river's course.

2. Clustered Settlement: Mumbai is known for its densely packed clustered settlements, particularly in areas like Dharavi, which is one of the largest slums in Asia.

3. Dispersed Rural Area: The rural areas of Rajasthan, such as those in the Thar Desert, feature dispersed settlements where homes are spread out due to the arid landscape and reliance on individual water sources.

Linear settlement

The settlement developed along the road and is located next to a river (zoomed in). This is why the settlement is long and thin (ribbon shaped).

# data[].attributes.body
The settlement is scattered across the countryside and surrounded by farmland. Dispersed settlements are often found in upland areas where settlement is difficult.

this village is surrounding a garden (succulent garden with scenic water view)

There are many buildings which are located around a central point. These settlements are usually developed in lowland areas where land is fertile. Thus, many people are attracted to settle there.

There are villages beside the Nile River. The village in the picture is one of the villages. They are next to the river because it is a reliable water source and the land further away from the Nile is very dry and infertile. Building a village closer to the Nile will ensure a good supply of water for the survival of the citizens in the village.

Rajasthan scarcity of water has necessitated compact settlement for maximum utilization of available water resources.

The low population allows the residents to take up more land and space causing them to spread out from each other.

Some areas are mountainous which makes living hard but some areas are flat land

There are linear settlements such as st supplix

There are clusters of building and some are built around rivers

St supplix as the land is ribbon shaped around a river and thin and long

Rivers, and rough terrain which makes building difficult
