Firstly, we can look at how physical reasons cause insecurity. Due to the variation in the earth’s climate, there is an unequal distribution of rain around the globe. Countries with arid temperatures, such as many countries in Africa, have extremely high levels of evaporation and low amounts of rainfall. LICS often suffer the most from these droughts.
