Advertisements
Solution
Industries in the continent of South America are developed only in coastal areas of Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. The hindrances in the growth of industries in South America are due to unfavourable physical factors such as dense forests in Brazil, deserts in interior parts of Argentina, and the Andes mountain range running along the west coast. Economic factors like limited capital, lack of modern technology, lack of transportation facilities, etc., create hindrances in the development of industries. A comparatively low density of population and lack of markets are the other factors responsible to have hindered the growth of industries in South America.
