Why is it helpful to compare a dot density map to a physical features map?

A dot density map shows where people are concentrated, while a physical features map shows landforms such as mountains, rivers, and plains. Comparing them can reveal how physical geography helps explain why an area has many or few residents—for example, people may cluster on flat land and avoid rugged terrain. The maps do not directly predict future home styles or show unemployment rates.
