There is a clear division line separating the north and south which displays the difference in development level of nations. The north is predominantly more developed than the south, with massively wealthy nations like the America; consequently there is less poverty in the north and people generally have a higher standard of living. In comparison, the south is dominated by poor countries which have low levels of development. Most of the people in the south have a lower standard of living due to high poverty rates; however there are some exceptions to this trend like Australia. Evidently there is an unequal relationship between the north and south, which could be mainly due to the fact many of the southern countries were owned by the north in the past.
The Nile is the longest river in the world, and referred to as an international river, as it spans approximately 5000 miles of the African continent, according to Wikipedia ("Nile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," n.d). The Nile flows north through the Sudanese desert, ending into a large delta basin in Egypt. It is the primary water source for Egypt. The Nile played a crucial role in the development of civilization in Egypt. Life was abundant along the river.
Figure two shows that countries around the equator tend to have low water stress compared to countries in the tropics, which have higher amounts of water stress, in some cases such as in north Africa extreme amounts of water stress. The global pattern of water stress could be due to both physical and human factors. A physical factor which contributes to the pattern of water stress around the globe is where a country is situated, for example Brazil and Indonesia have low water stress as they are near to the equator, where there are regular seasons and rain occurs frequently in the form of storms and monsoons. This provides the country with a plentiful water supply. However in Egypt, the country is mainly dessert.
LDC(least developed countries) in this group have very low income with a low GDP per capita; they have sometimes been described as ‘Fourth World’ nations to emphasise their bleak conditions and their populations lack of engagement with globalising forces. Countries such as Sudan and Afghanistan are classified in this group; these countries are frequently described as ‘failed states’ by politicians. A benefit is that it’s an average of countries income and doesn’t look at uneven distribution in the world. However a problem with grouping the countries into LEDC’s or MEDC’s is that is far too simplistic to divide the world in two, the distribution of wealth and power is more complex. Instead grouping nations into High, Middle and Low income is now considered more useful.
Like Africa is shown as Safari, Brazil has been shown as a country of jungle and slums. I would like to present you, from the point of view of a Brazilian, that Brazil are more than a poor country from Third World. However, the fact remains that poverty levels are unacceptably high for a country with Brazil’s income level. Health status and infant mortality is related to levels of poverty because of the lack of access to appropriate medical care as well as water and sanitation
The places where most of the people live in Chad are where the climate is extreme. The rain is can vary from drought to flooding and torrential rain which can ruin crops (Rural). The land near these conditions is capable of producing crops but the rain fall is either too little or too much. The climate in Chad is different every year as the weather is always changing. This makes it harder to produce foods and to make money which is the two big reasons for the poverty in Chad.
It is home to the worlds largest rainforest and river, the Amazon; the highest waterfall, Angel Falls; the longest mountain range, the Andes Mountains; the driest place on the planet, the Atacama Desert; the highest capitol city, La Paz Bolivia; and the most southern city in the world, Puerto Toro, Chile. The landscape is a diverse plethora of vegetation that supplies many sources of food and medicines. It is also home to indigenous people and unknown tribes that still live in the Amazon Rainforest. History of the People and the Food. Before the Spanish explorers came to the Americas around the 16th century, there were existing thriving civilizations.
Examine the sociological explanations for the lower rates of recorded crime in rural areas compared to urban areas. (21 marks) Within urban areas there may be higher rates of crime as there is hardly any sense of community. This could be because many urban areas fall under the category of zone 2 which is the ‘zone of transition’ (Shaw and McKay). Crime rates may also be affected as there is a higher level of immigrants new to the country that are put in zones of transition and then move when they start to earn a better living so this high population turnover leads to less social cohesion thus resulting in people turning to crime. However Morris doesn’t believe that his study is reliable as his 5 concentric zones are not applicable to the UK.
(Mahoney, 2008) The River is still a source of food and water. The river Nile contributes greatly to Agriculture in Egypt. To date, the Nile River remains one of the most outstanding and amazing natural feature that continues to add value and improve the Egyptian economy and the Middle East economy as well. Note that the waters of the Nile have attracted and affected politics in AFRICA FOR MANY generations. This is because of the influence the river has had on many different political aspects.
Today London is the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. England's population is about 53 million, around 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, and is largely concentrated in London, the South East and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East and Yorkshire, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century. Meadowlands and pastures are found beyond the major cities. CLIMATE: England has a temperate maritime climate: it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0 °C (32 °F) in winter and not much higher than 32 °C (90 °F) in summer. [123] The weather is damp relatively frequently and is changeable.
