The necessity or need for markets and This article may be unbalanced towards certain viewpoints. (March 2017)

Africa has a large quantity of natural resources, including diamonds, sugar, salt, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum and cocoa beans, but also woods and tropical fruits. Having a low human density, for a long period of time Africa has been colonized by more dynamic groups, exploiting African resources. Some economists[1] have talked about the 'scourge of raw materials', large quantities of rare raw materials putting Africa under heavy pressures and tensions, leading to wars and slow development. Despite these abundance of natural resources, claims suggest that many Western nations like the United States, Canada, France and the United Kingdom as well as emerging economic powerhouses like China often exploit Africa's natural resources today, causing most of the value and money from the natural resources to go to the West and East Asia rather than Africa, further causing the poverty in Africa.[2]

African oil takes growing importance, mainly after the 2014 oil crisis and recent oil reserves discoveries. Sudan and Nigeria are two of the main oil producers. China owns 40% of Congo's oil production. Oil is provided by both continental and offshore productions. Sudan's oil exports in 2010 are estimated by the United States Department of State at $9 billion with United States dollars.[3]

Five countries dominate Africa's upstream oil production. Together they account for 85% of the continent's oil production and are, in order of decreasing output, Nigeria, Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Angola. Other oil producing countries are Gabon, Congo, Cameroon, Tunisia, Equatorial Guinea, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Côte d'Ivoire. Exploration is taking place in a number of other countries that aim to increase their output or become first time producers. Included in this list are Chad, Sudan, Namibia, South Africa and Madagascar while Mozambique and Tanzania are potential oil producers.

3. Nomadic way of life reflects the adaptation of the tribal group. Give reasons.

Answer:

Yes, Nomadic way of life reflects the adaptation of the tribal group.

Explanation:

Nomadic life refers to a lifestyle where the person doesn't have a fixed habitat. They keep moving from place to place in search of food and shelter. Due to scarcity of food and shelter at one place, people used to keep moving from one place to other. This shows how adaptive these people were.

Assume that Earth's tectonic plates have always been in the position they are today. What likely would have happened to marsupia

Setler [38]

Answer:

The Marsupials would be extinct as they wont be able to migrate to South America and Australia.

Explanation:

If the plate tectonics would be in a position as they are in today then the marsupials population that is found today in Australia and other countries would not have been possible as the plate tectonics would not allow them to migrate to these places.

Even if they would migrate to another pace they would not survive as these creatures don't know how to travel longer distances and would eventually die of starvation.
