This means that they are common between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

If many people in a country catch tropical diseases like malaria, how will their income change? How might this affect calorie intake?]]> 2021-01-20 17:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1106770621 jmoore9776 https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1106805793 HICs have with their own common diseases. Heart disease is more common in HICs because people can afford to eat lots more food and lots of unhealthy food. It is called a "disease of affluence" because it is associated with HICs.

However, HICs are better able to treat diseases. Why? Does this mean that diseases of affluence do not significantly limit the development of HICs?]]> 2021-01-20 17:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1106805793 jmoore9776 https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1106817103 Tropical storms (hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones) are intense storms that form between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.

Between 1808 and 1961 it was part of the British Empire. However, Britain did not use its wealth to help the country develop.

During colonialism, British businesses mined the diamonds, paying local people very little. Trains carried the diamonds to Freetown, where they could be exported to Britain to manufacture jewellery, making large profits.

Not much has changed. European businesses mine diamonds and send them straight to Freetown for export. This means that wealth was and still is being taken out of the country instead of being collected by Sierra Leoneans.]]> 2021-01-20 18:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1107166096 jmoore9776 https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1107170225 2021-01-20 18:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1107170225 jmoore9776 https://padlet.com/jmoore9776/6q6doq83nmzdyy3p/wish/1107198002 Raw materials are low in value because businesses in HICs want to pay as little as possible for them to keep their profits high. 

This means that LIC Governments compete with each other to offer the most convenient trade deal, putting their businesses at an advantage.
