Which of the following regions has the least network of air routes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 10-35 degree latitudes in the southern hemisphere
This belt has a sparse population, little land and less economic development, so it has few air services.
NCERT (2026-27): “Inter-Continental Air Routes … In the Northern Hemisphere, there is a distinct east-west belt of inter-continental air routes. Dense network exists in Eastern U.S.A., Western Europe and Southeast Asia.” “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.” |
