                   GEOGRAPHY THEORY

1a)
(i)
colonial ties: nigeria and britain share
international trade with one another
because britain colonised Nigeria and

(ii)Differences in natural resources:
nigeria and britain have differences in
raw materials. the nigerian cocoa, rubber
and crude is needed by britain.

(iii)the need to earn foreign exchange by
nigeria.

(iv)high level of technology.

(1b)
(i)cocoa
(ii)rubber
(iii)crude

(1c)
(i)political instability
(ii)inadequate production of goods
(iii)inadequatencapital
(iv)low value of currency
(v)government policies

2a)
(i)The pull factor is a factor that draws people
to a
new location.

(ii)The push factor involves a force which acts
to
drive people away from a place.

(2b)
-accessibility of the location by roads
-good climate
-availability of social amenities
-absence of disaster

(2c)
-environmental pollution: more wastes are
produced due to high concentration of people
and
these tend to cause pollution

-increase in crime rate: Robbery will be on the
in
tease partly due to unemployment

-high cost of living: it leads to high cost of
living as
only few facilities and goods are available to
the
people.
-housing congestion: high population leads to
poor
accommodation as the number of houses are
not
always for the people.

3a)
(i)inadequate and poor technology: most
of the
african countries are technologically
poor and
this explains why they invest in primary
industries

(ii)inadequate capital:most of the african
countries do not have enough fund to
setup
secondary industries, hence they
concentrate
on primary industries

(iii)inadequate infrastructure: most
african
countries do not have regular supply of
electricity and goodroads for secondary
industries and they concentrate on
primary
industry

(3b)
(i)poor infrasture: most african countries
do not
have good road and regular supply of
electricity to setup industries (ii)problem
of market: the demand for foods in
african countries is very low and this is
another
problem

(iii)problem of capital: it is very difficult
to get
loan from bank due to collateral problem

(iv)inadequate raw materials: raw
materials for indutries are not available
and this is another
problem

(3c)
(i)availability of loan: there should be
loan to
private people

(ii)the infrastructure amenities should be
developed i.e there should be regular
supply of
electricity and provision of good roads

(iii)there should be production of good
products for people to buy

(2c)
POVERTY:- Intensive urban growth can
lead to greater poverty, with local
governments unable to provide services
for all people.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:- Urban
development can magnify the risk of
environmental hazards such as flash
flooding, hurricanes e.t.c
.
UNEMPLOYMENT:- Dues to the large and
teeming population provision of
employment opportunites will be limited.
Leading to unemployment of a large
number of people

AIR POLLUTION:- Concentrated energy use
leads to greater air pollution, also fumes
from smokes and exhaust pipes of
vehicles cause air pollution which has
adverse effect on human health.
