Climate can affect development as if there is little rainfall, this means droughts occur. As a result, crops suffer and cannot grow. As a conserquence, they can not be sold so there is no increase in economic development.
Natural hazards can limit growth as it can destroy land. This leads to buildings being destroyed and also agricultural areas. Also, income may be diverted to help recover from these events.
Landlocked countries means that its harder to trade. It must be driven through other countries to be exported and this costs money. Also it is more difficult to get new technology as the fibre optic cables run under the ocean.
Natural Resources allow a country to develop depending on their availability. Also this is linked to the ability to exploit the natural resources in order for the country to gain and benefit.
Historical development such as colonies has allowed for trade to occur for many years. However, some colonial countries were set without attention to tribal and cultural differences.
