Case Study on Earthquake
Prepare before its too late.Time and tide waits for no man.Make hay while the sun shines.
LEDC's are Less Economically developed country, they are non industrial nations. They tend not to manufacture goods and the residents are usually poor.
MEDC's are More Economically developed country, the countries that have a high level of development according to some criteria for evaluating the degree of economic development.
Kenya and United Kingdom( UK)
Kenya: Is a LEDC country as it is a poor country and can't manage such huge earthquakes.
United Kingdom: Is a MEDC country as it is a rich country and can manage the earthquakes.
First I will be sharing my case study on my MEDC country United Kingdom ^.^
