Question:

Which of the following regions has the least network of air routes?

Options:

South East Asia

Western Europe

Eastern U.S.A.

10-35 degree latitudes in the southern hemisphere

Correct Answer:

10-35 degree latitudes in the southern hemisphere

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 10-35 degree latitudes in the southern hemisphere

Air route density is highest in industrial and densely populated regions like Western Europe and Eastern U.S.A., and also significant in South East Asia. The region with the least network of air routes is the 10–35 degree latitudes in the southern hemisphere, because this zone covers sparsely populated areas like deserts, oceans, and less developed regions.

 "Africa, Asiatic part of Russia and South America lack air services. There are limited air services between 10-35 latitudes in the Southern hemisphere due to sparser population, limited landmass and economic development."
