State the reasons for density and quality of roads being relatively better in the plains in comparison to roads in high altitudes, rainy and forested regions of India.

Answer

The density and quality of roads are better in the plains as compared to roads in high altitudes, rainy and forested areas due to the following reasons :


(i) Plains are levelled and extensive in size where roads can be laid easily. While it is not possible in hilly or forested areas.

(ii) The forests are also not suitable for the laying roads as they are dense. Regions, where rains are frequent are also not suitable for the laying roads.

(iii) In the plains, the economic activities like agriculture, industries are carried out. Therefore the plains are more advantageous for the roads.
