A conurbation is a settlement

  1. with about 500,000 people
  2. whose people are predominantly farmers
  3. in which two or more towns have joined together with each retaining its identity
  4. where a large number of towns join together over a considerable area ✓
Explanation

A conurbation happens when many towns grow and merge into one huge urban area. They spread over a wide region.

Lagos is an example of a conurbation where many towns have grown together. The boundaries between them disappear.

Conurbations are much larger than single cities or even metropolises.
