I am going to compare the physical and human flooding causes for an MEDC; the UK and an LEDC; Bangladesh. The Boscastle Floods‚ in Cornwall occurred on August 16th 2004. Between July and September of 1998‚ Bangladesh also incurred large amounts of flooding. There were a number of physical factors causing the Boscastle floods. The village suffered from heavy rainfall. Over 2 hours‚ 0.05mm of rainfall fell per minute. In total‚ over 3 million tonnes of water was added to the small drainage basin

and that is whether you are in a MEDC or a LEDC. In a MEDC monitoring volcanic zones and potential hazards is an option many LEDC’s don’t have. In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geochemical monitoring programs currently run by INGV which focus on the analysis of temporal changes‚ chemical changes and seismic activity. This option open to the Italians is not an option for LEDC who don’t have the wealth or public education to set up these stations. An example of an LEDC with no planning and prevention plans

As for their education system Spain is known as LOE meaning Ley Organcia De Educacion or fundamental law of education this is good for them and keeps their peoples standards highly well. Spain is a MEDC due to their seas of free trade and also tourists give them a better part of living and handling their surrounding well. Spain’s only problem would be their GDP because it has fallen and known to be as global recession this would only be there issue

often think of LEDCs and MEDCs however it is true now more than ever that the boundaries between categories are blurred. There are the extreme opposites of LDCs and MDCs and then the vague limbo of NICs and RICs. To potentially confuse this further there are countries in a Venn diagram like structure of being in multiple categories like those in OPEC or the G8. However for the sake of comparing the developed and developing world it is more beneficial to consider countries as MEDCs i.e. developed

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of a volcanic hazard (40 marks) Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe therefore bringing hazards to every affected area. A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards

country (MEDC) may encounter water stress and a poor country (LEDC) may encounter water scarcity. In both cases‚ it causes many problems such as an increase in water consumption by 70% in MEDC countries whilst diseases spread much faster due to poor water conditions. As LEDC cities grow‚ so does the demand for water. The problem doesn’t end when water supplies have been improved and pipes put in place. The water has got to come from somewhere‚ and the source of supply may be scarce. It is LEDCS whoever

Every country is separated in two categories‚ MEDC and LEDC; which stands for More Economically Developed Country and Less Economically Developed Country. The countries separated in these categories have special characteristics‚ one of them being the population and GDP‚ which stands for Gross Domestic Product. In this essay we ’re going to compare Scotland (MEDC) and Ecuador (LEDC). Scotland SCOTLAND IS A COUNTRY LOCATED IN WESTERN EUROPE. IT ’S AN MEDC COUNTRY WITH A TOTAL OF US$194 BILLION. IT HAS

Climate change in the UK and Bangladesh Bangladesh is a LEDC (less economically developed country). It has a population of 148‚692‚130. In Bangladesh there are many different problems being caused by climate change. A massive problem in Bangladesh is flooding this is caused by higher precipitation levels for example snow (this could come from the Himalayas) and could increase river and sea levels. As well as this‚ most of the country consists of a huge flood plain. This high level of water
