Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "conurbation" refers to an unbroken urban environment that is created by the merging of multiple central cities and their surrounding counties. The Greater Los Angeles Area fits this definition as it consists of multiple cities and counties that have merged together to create a continuous urban landscape. While "megalopolis" and "metropolis" are also commonly used to describe large urban areas, they do not specifically denote the merging of multiple cities and counties to create a single urban environment. "Urbanization" refers to the process of an area becoming more urban, but it does not necessarily imply the merging of multiple cities and counties.
