1.	Look at the map in Fig. and answer the following questions.1. Which two continents show lesser use of air routes?2. Which two continents show lesser use of rail routes? Why?3. Which rail route connects two continents?4. Why do you see a concentration of transportation routes in the southern part of Australia as opposed to northern parts in all the continents?5. Which continents do not have continuous internal rail routes? Why?
Answer» 1. Africa and South America show lesser use of air routes. 2. The continents of Africa and South America have lesser use of rail route because in both the continents physical factors like climate and relief are not favourable for development of rail route. Due to the mountains, hills, dense forest and desert in these areas, the construction and maintenance of the railway line is difficult and expensive. 3. The Trans-Siberian Railway connects two continents i.e., Asia and Europe. 4. Compared to the northern part of Australia, southern part is having levelled land, equable climate, urbanisation and industrialisation. Therefore, concentration of transport routes is more in the southern part of Australia. 5. South America and Africa do not have continuous internal rail routes because some areas in these continents are densely forested and extensive areas are covered by deserts and mountains.
