Answer: one of the most important factors in development is geography, where the country is in the world, and climate. It's no coincidence that the poorest countries are in the tropics, where it is hot, the land is less fertile, water is more scarce, where diseases flourish... Some countries are just at a natural disadvantage.
Explanation: Geography affects human development by
- vegetation
- climate
- local water cycle
Geography doesn't just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people's lifestyle, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns.
