because the buildings and structures of the buildings are poorly built and resources and medical supplies are minimal. also the government is not as stable as an MEDC so the recovery after an earthquake for an LEDC is alot harder and takes longer.

What has Kobe done to reduce the impact of earthquakes?

Ways they reduce/d the impact: · Steel frames on high rise building. · Older buildings collapsed. · New building made further apart to reduce the domino effect. · Built on concrete slabs where soil is softer. As during the earthquake the ground can liquidfaction. · Disaster plans are put in place-earthquake drills practised regularly and people are forewarned to turn off the gas in their homes/building, so that a fire won't occur in the event of an earthquake. · Shock absorber fitted. · Organise and prepare a emergency 'stock' which include medicines, food, water, blankets, tents and commucation equipment. Most LEDC's wouldn't have the funds to supply these. · Better research work is put in place so that they can monitor ground movement and key fault lines. This creates jobs potentially for the people that became long-term unemployed. · Government urges people to buy earthquake insurance.


How does mining or extracting metals affect society like Jobs and economy?

Mining is usually done in natural areas, LEDC's (less economically developed countries) usually have more natural areas that are abundant in minerals that are mined so mining offers jobs for the poor locals. Mining also damages local crops and forests so poor farmers can end up with a poor harvests each year resulting in a decrease in their money income- on a larger scale the country's business can collapse.
