Industries in a country affect the wealth and life conditions of citizens. These industries are affected by the climate or terrain of a region. In California, the north is full of forestries so the main industry produces lumber. In southern California, the climate is warm and is fit for grape farms, created wine industries. Lastly, in the Jordan, the oil industry is booming and it makes up for the loss of agriculture because of the desert lands. Furthermore, the terrain and soil of a region affects the trading patterns. The soil influences the quantity and quality of crops. The terrain of a region

This relates to the impact of geography in the aspect of cities’ housing, as well as land use. Simply put, there just isn’t enough land the way it is.

Economic Impacts of the Climate Change in the Southeastern Region of the U.S. and Texas

With reference to examples, assess the degree to which the level of economic development of a country affects planning and management in urban areas.

The importance of geography in terms on economic development has been a long disputed topic, yet it is the most obvious explanation to the yawning gaps between several different economies, like the situation between Western Europe and Africa, in which the1820 average GDP per capita in Western Europe was about three times that in Africa; then by 1992, the average was more than thirteen times as high (Gallup, Mellinger, Sachs 1999 p.176). By saying that there is an apparent relationship between geography and economic development, it is meant that the geography of an economy, like location, climate, and natural resources, strongly influences different aspects of the economy, like trade and institution, which, in turn, determine the

Over the past few decades, a major concern is the threat climate change possess for today’s economy. Millions of people are affected each and every day by climate change but this is just the beginning of the worst. One thing that seems to go unharmed by climate change is social status; how long will money last as a barrier to the effects of Mother Nature? How does poverty increase the risks associated the devastating powers of climate change? When speaking in terms of poverty many different categories arise. Poverty in America is different than poverty in Asia or Africa. Every country has faced poverty. It is inevitable; some countries however, face a disproportionately high percentage of poverty.

In the comparison of two countries there are a variety of characteristics that can be used to generate a summary, for this paper we will consider: Location, geographic characteristics, weather, demographics, economic characteristics, and participation in international organizations concerned with climate change and the social and economic stability of the global population. This paper will make an examination of 2 countries, Guatemala, which is considered a developing nation and Sweden, which is considered a developed nation.

Similarly, Gansu correlated negatively with Upper West of Ghana with -0.757 at 0.01 significant level. Contrarily, Gansu had positive linear correlations with Upper East and Northern regions of Ghana with 0.924 and 0.936 respectively at 0.01 significant

Geography affects climate which in turn controls what crops can grow in an area and if or how they feed, power, and ultimately drive a community. Papua

The evidence of climate change in Kenya is undeniable, while its effects on economic growth are no more mysterious; rather, they are rapidly unfolding to a startling reality and concern for humanity. Accelerated emissions of green house gases (GHGs) globally, from combustion of fossil fuels and unsustainable land use practices is the key driver of anthropogenic climate change, which is manifested in; temperature variations, frequent and extensive droughts, intensive rainfalls and floods, seasonal and regional pest and disease prevalence that result to conflicts for pasture and water resources,

Many studies have demonstrated the idea that institutions are the main factor of economic development because empirical evidence points to strong institutions being able to determine large growth of GDP per capita. Although the characteristics of strong institutions can be described as the potential fundamental cause of economic growth, the effects of geography and materials available to different certain regions have a huge hand in properly developing a society economically and allowing for further growth. The resources of the countries heavily depend on the raw materials available to each region and the kinds of animals they are able to domesticate. This is where the argument circulates around in which geography is a large determinant of whether a civilization or society can prosper in a certain area or not.
