Question

Give geographical reasons:

Industrial growth is limited in South America.

Answer 1

1. The huge Amazon River basin encompasses the majority of South America.
2. Flat plains are absent from the mineral-rich western coastal nations of Peru and Chile in South America. Likewise, there is a small local market for a variety of produced goods.
3. The majority of South American nations are underdeveloped economically and technologically.

Therefore, industrial growth is limited in South America.
