In mountainous terrain, the following answers are correct regarding how it affects settlements in a region:

- **Groups develop their own cultures and traditions.** (Correct. Isolation and difficult access can lead to distinct cultural development.)

- **Settlements are isolated from each other.** (Correct. Mountainous terrain often creates physical barriers that hinder communication and travel, leading to isolation.)

The other responses, about groups trading regularly and people traveling from settlement to settlement, are generally less applicable in a mountainous region due to the challenges posed by the terrain.
