Question

Which of the following statements can be supported by the bar graph and the geography of Europe

Answer 1

Both Italy and Spain have high levels of immigration, most likely due to their location close to northern Africa.

Answer 2

The correct answer is - Both Italy and Spain have high levels of immigration, most likely due to their close location to Northern Africa.

Spain and Italy are both countries that have high levels of immigration, almost exclusively from Africa, and apart from the immigration itself, they are also transit countries used by the immigrants to go to their wished destination.

These two countries, even though can not be considered as very powerful economically, have the high levels of immigration mostly due to their close proximity to the African continent. By using boats or smaller vessels, from Africa to Spain, the journey will take only few hours, while from Africa to Italy will be only a couple of days, so the immigrants choose them as they are the countries that can be reached the easiest and quickest.
