Why are rates of urbanization higher in LEDCs than MEDCs?
Rates of urbanization are higher in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) than in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) primarily due to rapid population growth and migration from rural areas in search of better economic opportunities and living conditions. LEDCs often experience industrialization, which attracts people to cities for jobs, while MEDCs have more established urban centers with slower growth rates. Additionally, factors such as rural poverty, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to services in rural areas push populations toward urban centers in LEDCs.
Why are LEDCs exporters of raw materials?
Because in most MEDCs they have either run out of what was available or didnt have much in the first place, such as Japan.
Why do droughts cause more damage to LEDCs than MEDCs?
Droughts tend to cause more damage to Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) than More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) due to several factors. LEDCs often lack the infrastructure, technology, and resources needed for effective water management and drought mitigation, making them more vulnerable to water shortages. Additionally, many LEDCs rely heavily on agriculture for their economies and livelihoods, so prolonged droughts can lead to severe food insecurity and economic instability. In contrast, MEDCs typically have more diversified economies and better access to resources that can help mitigate the impacts of drought.
WHY IS HUMAN RESPONSE TO EARTHQUAKES USUALLY MUCH QUICKER IN MEDCS THAN IN LEDCS?
Human response to earthquakes is usually much quicker in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs) than in Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) due to better infrastructure, resources, and emergency preparedness. MEDCs typically have advanced technology, efficient communication systems, and well-trained emergency services that enable rapid response and coordination. In contrast, LEDCs often lack the necessary resources, face logistical challenges, and may have weaker governance, which can delay their response efforts significantly. Additionally, public awareness and education about disaster preparedness are generally higher in MEDCs, contributing to a more effective response.
