Why impact of earthquakes is reduce in MEDCs?

The impact of earthquakes is reduced in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) due to better infrastructure, advanced engineering practices, and stringent building codes designed to withstand seismic activity. MEDCs often have access to resources for effective emergency response and disaster preparedness, including early warning systems and public education on safety measures. Additionally, their economies allow for investment in research and technology that improve understanding and mitigation of earthquake risks. These factors collectively contribute to minimizing the damage and casualties associated with earthquakes in these regions.


Are MEDCs better at sport that LEDCs?

Not necessarily. While MEDCs may have more resources and infrastructure to support sports, participation and success in sports depends on a variety of factors such as access to training facilities, coaching expertise, talent development programs, nutrition, and cultural emphasis on sports. LEDCs may produce highly successful athletes despite facing challenges in resources and infrastructure.

How do earthquake prone countries prepare for earthquakes?

Earthquake prone countries prepare for earthquakes by implementing building codes that require structures to be earthquake-resistant, conducting regular drills and exercises to educate the public on how to respond during an earthquake, monitoring seismic activity, and establishing emergency response plans. Additionally, these countries invest in early warning systems and public awareness campaigns to help reduce the impact of earthquakes.


Why do medc's emit more c02 emissions than ledc's?

MEDCs have higher levels of industrial activity, transportation, and consumption of energy compared to LEDCs, resulting in greater CO2 emissions. In addition, MEDCs often rely on fossil fuels for their energy needs, which further contributes to higher emissions. LEDCs, on the other hand, may have less industrialization and lower energy consumption due to lower levels of economic development.

How did LEDCs get into debt with MEDCs?

ledcs ask medcs for money if they need it but over time, medcs charge more and more interest and so the ledcs can't pay it back. medcs also bargain for their resources so when the ledcs are left in debt, with no control over their resources, they end up in poverty.
