Q.6 (B) (1) Draw neat, labelled diagrams : Triangular pattern of settlement.
Best answer
Answer: Triangular pattern of settlement
How to draw: Draw two rivers (or a river and a tributary, or two roads) meeting each other at an acute angle, forming a 'Y' or 'V' shape. Draw the houses of the settlement in the triangular area between the two rivers/roads, starting at their junction and widening away from it, so that the outline of the settlement looks like a triangle. Label: river / tributary (or roads), confluence, houses, triangular settlement. Give the title 'Triangular pattern of settlement'.
Explanation: A triangular settlement develops at the confluence of two rivers or at the junction of two roads. The houses cannot spread across the rivers, so they extend only in the land between them, giving a triangular shape. Example: settlements at river confluences such as Prayagraj.
