Explanation:

The climatic conditions in Chile tend to be quite harsh and extreme. The population of the country has, therefore, adapted to this. Although agriculture is possible in some regions, the economy mostly relies on traditional activities that are not related to growing crops, such as herding. Moreover, modern industry established in the cities is impacted very little by these extreme climatic conditions.
