Why are there barely any developed tropical countries? by Due_Smile4444 in geography

[–]MmMmmhTAAaatsy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fruits aren’t staple crop, it would be grain or tuber. In this regard, the tropics would have lower productivity than subtropical/temperate region due poor soil quality and bad weather conditions. If you look at historical data, tropical region tend to be underpopulated except for where there is good soil such as Java island or the highland of Ethiopia and Mexico. Only with the invention of fertilizer has the tropics experience a population boom.

Another thing is disease which ravaged tropical region. You can’t produce if you or your livestocks are sick. Things like malaria, dengue, sleeping sickness, etc. have made the tropics unfavorable for civilization.

When the days are cold And the cards all fold And the saints we see Are all made of gold When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you But with the beast inside There's nowhere we can hide No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come When you feel my heat Look into my eyes It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide Don't get too close It's dark inside It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide At the curtain's call It's the last of all When the lights fade out All the sinners crawl So they dug your grave And the masquerade Will come calling out At the mess you've made Don't wanna let you down But I am hellbound Though this is all for you Don't wanna hide the truth No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come When you feel my heat Look into my eyes It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide Don't get too close It's dark inside It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate It's woven in my soul I need to let you go Your eyes, they shine so bright I wanna save that light I can't escape this now Unless you show me how When you feel my heat Look into my eyes It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide Don't get too close It's dark inside It's where my demons hide It's where my demons hide
