Soil: fertile soils provide suitable land for agriculture. Fertile plains such as Ganga and Brahmaputra in India.

Minerals: areas with mineral deposits are more populated
Social, cultural factors

Cultural: places with religion or cultural significance attract people.
Economic factors: Economic factors include availability of minerals, locations of industries, development means of transport and communication and government policies.
