Fertility rate would be higher or lower in a developed country ..... why?

A tropical cyclone spins clockwise in the southern hemisphere - true or false?
True!
Anticlockwise in the NH
400
Explain the climate conditions of a high pressure area
High pressure means no warm air can rise which leads to very little rainfall and dry, arid desert environments

Compare Rostows and Franks theories on development
Rostows - stages of development from traditional society, industrial take off, high mass consumption
Frank - dependency theory argues wealthy, powerful countries (core) keep some countries less developed (periphery) through exploitation and economic dependence
500
Compare top-down and bottom-up development projects (make sure to give features of each)
Top down - expensive, large scale, run by government or IGOs
Bottom up - inexpensive, intermediate technology, run by charities of NGOs, small scale
500
Explain why cyclones spin
Cyclones spin due to the Coriolis Effect - the earth's spin on its axis causes winds to deflect (curve). Air is drawn into the low-pressure center of the storm, causing the air to spiral
500
Explain the formation of the Hawaiian Islands
Hawaiian Islands were formed over a stationary hot spot. Magma rises to the crust from a mantle plume, creating a volcano. As the tectonic plate moves across, new volcanic island chains are formed
