Poorer countries are more affected by famines due to factors such as limited access to adequate food sources, inadequate infrastructure for food distribution, lack of financial resources for purchasing food, and political instability. Additionally, climate change and environmental degradation may also impact food production in these countries, exacerbating food insecurity.

Additionally, impoverished populations often live in more flood-prone areas due to limited resources and land options.

Why do you think poorer countries tend to be in the south and richer countries tend to be in the north and list some possible reasons?

There does seem to be a pattern showing that the richer countries are in the north, and the poorer countries in the south. While there are some clear exceptions (Australia) it does seem that North America, Europe and Japan are far economically superior to South America, Africa and the Pacific. Perhaps it is because the people of the European region were among the first to develop superior technology and general civilisation. They also introduced these traits to other countries, particularly northern (U.S. and such). This is the only possible reason I can think of. If there are any additions to this, they would be greatly appreciated.


Why do poor countries get more floods than the richer ones?

The number may not be greater, but the effect can be. Poor countries have poor flood-control methods and general emergency response capabilities, so more people are affected than in rich countries.
