Answer 1

settlement patterns: settlement patterns are where people choose to live baised on there needs(eg. food, shelter, water, security) Settlement patterns are usually on a body of water due to the great need for water.

Land use: How people use land, not just for houses. (eg. factories, roads, highways, store)

they depend on each other because... lets use stores for example. Stores need to locate near setlement patterns for customers, If the store paid no attention to where people were living, They woul not be able to locate themselves in the best possible location.

Hope I helped

Answer 2

Settlement patterns are where people settle first. In America it was along coastlines, that's where European ships first landed, people could fish and if you had to go somewhere, it might be easier to walk along the shore than in the woods. People lived in places that had available needed supplies, water, food, firewood and either shelter of supplies needed to make shelter (trees). Settlement tended to move upstream, the mouths of rivers were at the oceans and rivers provided highways that could be navigated. Consequently additional settlements were along rivers because of travel and water. Pioneers moving west first settled areas with water resources for drinking or irrigating crops in arid areas. In mountainous areas, sheltered well watered valleys were desired. No one wanted to be living on top of a barren wind swept mountain. You can take it from here.
