Topography is an important element in influencing the concentration of a population. Plain areas generally contain a higher population density, compared to mountain regions. Steep mountain slopes inhibit the ability to utilize the land for agriculture or to set up industry.\nClimate extremes also tend to discourage the concentration of population. Such climates include the frigid temperatures of the Himalayas, and the scorching heat of the Thar Desert. A moderate climate is ideal for population segmentation. Access to water plays a crucial role in determining the population of a given area as ..

Grand Bahama Cruise Line is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau, which gives the company an "F" rating due to the amount of time it has operated and due to the number of unresolved customer complaints. One reviewer mentioned how her mother was "conned" into buying a cruise that she was not physically able to take. A tactic reportedly used by the company is to claim the respondent "won" a free cruise, and then it adds on surcharges that bring the cost up to the price of a traditional cruise. There is one positive customer review, however.

Airlines practice tier pricing. In economy class, there can be as many as 10 different prices for the same seat. Airlines sell a certain number of seats at the lowest price, then that fare is no longer available. The next client gets the next lowest price. This pattern continues until the seats are sold out. By booking early, staying at least two nights and flying mid-week during low season, a lucky traveler can get the cheapest available seat.

Why is Africa called the "plateau continent"?

Africa's plateau structure is largely due to its existence on a single tectonic plate. Most of the continent is flat and, despite faults in some areas, free of mountains generated by tectonic collision. The Olduvai Gorge may be the single place where Africa is partially on another tectonic plate, but even this is disputed by geologists.\nThe unique geography of Africa has historically prevented the use of most waterways as transportation routes for large vessels, limiting the development of trade for millennia. However, as of 2014, the waterways provide inexpensive hydroelectric power.
