3 impact on settlement pattern

Highlands of Ethiopia that expersie atemperat type of climate


condtion that are mainly free from most of tropical diseas
such as malaria yellew fever E.g most of woina dega and dega
climate of ethio pa are fre e from this adiseas so most of this
climate area are most densely populated area on the other
hand the lowlanr of ethipia are live with presence of his
diseas that related with very hotness of an area by means of
thise lowland and pherpherial part of an area are very
separately population
Rugged and difficult terrain are affected or hinderd the dev.t
and expantion settlement of an area
It hinderd the dev.t of of d\f infrastructure then thise hinder
cuase of settlemet become latss dense
The highland of Ethiopian are charactersid by sedentary life
inpermanent settlement while lowlands of Ethiopia that are
inhapited by pasterilized or have tempral settlement
Highland of topography are good for better living b\c it have
enough amount of rain fall temperature all their make it is
important for biotic and abioic factor of living.
On the other hand lowland of e thipia are characterisid by
low amount of rian fall in high amount of temperature so
pasterlized and irrigation are only means of life E.g part of s/e
of borona eleker and Somalia are parts.
4 Impact topography climate change
Topography is the major general factor that affect the
climate condtion that make the condtion very hot or very dry
or wet
The higher altitude or topography are make the aire condtion
more suiatable for living or making ecbonic and social
condtion rather than lowland area make the weather
condtion become harsh and difficult to survive
The topography of an area not only affect the condtion but
also the economic acitivity on climate condtion
E,g the higher area make one economic become agriculture
and sendentary way of life of
On the other hand the lowland maker the economic system
become pasterol and animal husbandery
Generally in Ethiopia based on altitude or varration on the
topographical /relif\ cliamet become classified into four
Wurch/high altitude\.dega\less altitudefrom wurch\,woina
dega\lower than wurch and dega\ kola \it also lower less in
altitude\ then bereha\it beome lowland/
As one move from wurch to bereha altitude or topography
become decreas and the temperature become hotness or
increase
This is all about the impact of topography on climate change
The climate of Ethiopia is aresult of the topical postion of the
country and the great altitudinal varation f the geneal
topography
Highland with higher amount of rain fall and lower rate of
evapo transpiration tend to be moistur surplus compared to
the moistur defict lowland.
