Read the passage below.



Settlement Patterns Europe’s population is not the same everywhere. Some areas have more people than others. Many people live near the coast, where trade, travel, and mild weather support large communities. Rivers also attracted settlements because they made it easier to move goods and connect cities. Inland areas usually have fewer people, unless there are good resources, jobs, or fertile land.
