Non-industrialized societies have to depend on others to extract their resources. Naturally, the "others" tend to keep the goodies for themselves. Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond for an historic overview of these and many other issues that combined to create the world we live in today.
There are not enough of them. Their distribution acording to needs and resources is uneven and injust.

Natural resources and climate don't correlate with level of development. For example, Brazil in South America is five times the size of Mexico with plenty of agricultural and mineral resources; yet, it is in worse shape -- e.g. less development -- than Mexico. On the other hand, Japan which is the third largest economy in the world, has a colder climate and fewer resources than Mexico but has one of the highest living standards in the world.
The climatic conditions such as temperature, rainfall, humidity, slope, altitude, distance from the sea and other physical features as well as level of development and technology vary from one place to another. Due to the variation of these factors Land Use pattern is uneven all around the world.
Japan desperately needed mineral resources .
No, natural resources are not spread evenly around the world. Some regions are naturally blessed with abundant resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and fertile land, while others may have limited or no access to such resources. Factors like geological processes, climate, and historical events have contributed to the uneven distribution of natural resources globally.
That would be false.
. . . to exploit mineral resources such as oil .
