Geography Internal Assessment Of A World Map Within The...

Geography Internal Assessment Task 1: Describe the (spatial or temporal) pattern from a world map within the geographic topic (malaria) at a global scale. Malaria is concentrated throughout equatorial regions (except ocean) i.e. countries in the vicinity of the equator. It is mostly concentrated in the African continent, although the northern and southern regions of Africa are not affected by malaria as it is too cold. All areas that are concentrated with Malaria are tropical areas. Other areas such as mountains and deserts are sparsely affected by Malaria. Another area that has a concentrated amount of Malaria is the Philippines. So temperature is a very important part of the environments. However there are some countries such as the United States of America that do not have any malaria despite some of the land mass having suitable temperatures. This is where a cultural environment worked to eradicate malaria through the application of money (in spray programmes and other education programmes) and determination. This is an example of a temporal pattern. Other cultural factors interact with malaria susceptible countries to make the situation much worse. For example countries that have been impoverished by war, including civil war, suffer more than other countries. Angola is an example of this. Therefore countries in Africa have a denser malaria concentration if there is great poverty which is often combined with civil war. This is an example of a spatial pattern.Show MoreRelatedManaging Information Technology (7th Edition)239873 Words   |  960 PagesServices Pvt. Ltd.
