SSC Geography QUESTION #6313
Question 1
Von Thünen's agricultural land use model assumes all of the following EXCEPT:
  • A single central market (isolated state)
  • Uniform transportation costs per unit distance in all directions✔️
  • Homogeneous land quality and topography
  • Farmers maximizing profit by minimizing transportation costs
Correct Answer Explanation
Von Thünen's model assumes transportation costs are proportional to distance AND weight/bulk of products, not uniform per distance. Perishable/bulky items locate closer to market; less perishable/lighter goods locate farther out.
