How are means of transport and communication complementary to each other? Explain with three examples.
Means of transport and communication are complementary to each other in the following
three ways:
i. Transport and communication establish links between production centres and consumption centres and provide the links through which these two centres carry out trade.
ii. Such networks connect the remote pockets of the country with other parts. Hence, effective distribution of produced goods becomes possible.
iii. The movement of raw material becomes much more efficient if there are elaborate means of transport and communications available.
