In what ways are llanos and pampas alike?

Both the llanos and the pampas are South American regions characterized by being plains with high fertility, so they are centers of high agricultural production for their countries.

Explanation:

-The Llanos is a vast tropical grassland in Colombia and Venezuela. It lies between the Andean Mountains and the Orinoco River.   It is a large, warm region with rolling grasslands broken by low-lying plateau mountains, thick woods and scattered palm trees. The height above the sea varies between 100 and 300 meters. During the dry season (November-April) the grass is crisp, yellowish and inedible. During the rainy season much of the area is flooded. The region is sparsely populated, and livestock farming is the dominant production in the zone. With flood control and water storage projects in the region, parts of Llanos have been transformed into fertile agricultural lands.

-The Pampas is a fertile plain in southeastern South America. It covers mainly central and eastern Argentina.  In addition, there is a transition zone in Uruguay to the southern Brazilian plateau landscape; however, the Uruguayan Pampas is a smaller, slightly undulating landscape.

The Argentine Pampas is a very populous and vast area, about 750,000 km², which slowly rises from the Atlantic and the Parana river in the east towards the Andes in the west. In the north it is bounded by the Chaco area and in the south by the Patagonia.

The climate is mild but windy, with hot summers and dry winters, but not frost-free. It rains moderately, and the rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year.  

The eastern part of the region is characterized by fertile loose soils. Agriculture also provides good crops here, including wheat, maize, sunflowers, oilseeds, soybeans and potatoes. The central and western parts of Pampas are mostly used as pastures for large herds of cattle.

Pampas is considered one of the world's largest grain stores and accounts for about one-third of Argentina's total grain and beef production.

answer; //i do believe its the caspian sea.

hi there,

on december 11, 2001, china officially became the 143rd member of the

world trade organization (wto) in the culmination of a negotiation

process which began in 1986. economists have long been debating the

global effects of china's accession to the wto, and as china becomes

fully integrated into the organization over the next several years,

the accuracy of their predictions will be tested.

one of the biggest residual effects of china's entry to the wto,

according to economists, will be the relocation of manufacturing and

distribution centers to china. due to its cheap labor, cheap

industrial land, and educated workforce, china is an ideal production

centre for businesses based in outside countries. this will likely

result in a twofold impact – more jobs will be available in china,

while countries like india, which have historically offered cheap

labor, will suffer. taiwan and malaysia's technology industries are

already suffering as companies like dell computers move production to

china, and while foreign investment soars in china, other asian

countries suffer. in addition, mexico and the caribbean will lose

thousands of garment manufacturing jobs as the u.s. lifts restraints

on chinese textile imports.

while the impact on southeast asia may be negative, the western world

may benefit. while some suggest china's open borders will result in

increased competition and a decreased employment rate for the western

world, western countries will benefit from access to china's highly

developed electronics and industry sectors. with duties and quotas

slashed, and restrictions lifted, multinationals will benefit by

setting up distribution centers without the need for chinese

middlemen. in addition, it's expected that china will import massive

amounts of food products, machinery and vehicles from the u.s., japan,

hong kong, taiwan, singapore and south korea, thus providing

significant boosts to these countries' economies.

in conclusion, it seems that while western countries may benefit from

china's accession to the wto, there's the potential that asian and

south american countries may feel the pinch of free trade as china

moves to a global economy.
