- Physical Factors Causing Uneven Development
- Few raw materials
- raw materials are sold in exchange for money. if a country doesnt have many raw materials it will have to find an alternative
- countries may have many natural resources but are unable to exploit them because of the lack of infrastructure
- Poor climate
- leads to poor food production
- causes malnutrition and a poor quality of life
- Fewer crops available to sell reduces money available to spend on services and goods
- Less is sold and bought so government receives lower taxes
