Centrifugal Forces: Centrifugal forces refer to factors or conditions that contribute to the division or separation of a country or region. In the context of mountainous terrain, regional disparities caused by difficult topography may lead to centrifugal forces that pull regions apart.
Regional Disparities: Regional disparities refer to inequalities or differences in development levels between different regions within a country. In the case of mountainous terrain, regions with challenging topography may face more difficulties in terms of infrastructure development and economic growth compared to flatter regions.
Topography: Topography refers to the physical features of an area's surface, including its elevation, slopes, and landforms such as mountains. Mountainous terrain is one type of topographical feature that influences various aspects of human geography such as settlement patterns and economic activities.
