Answer: A linear settlement is one in which houses are built in a line along a road, railway, river, canal or coast.

Diagram (described in words): draw a road (or river) as two parallel lines across the page and draw small squares (houses) in a single row on both sides along it; show fields behind the houses. Label: 'road / river', 'houses', 'fields'. Title: Linear settlement.

Such settlements develop where flat land is a narrow strip, e.g. along a river levee, a coast or a highway.
