Answer 1

Harsh weather conditions and vast distances pose a great challenge for the transportation of petroleum products and other goods in Russia.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Russia is a country with the largest east-west stretch in the world. The major cities in Russia are far apart on great distances from each other.

• Above all, Russia majorly lies between the higher latitudes which makes it a temperate region.

• The temperatures in Russia fall down up to -30°C in winters making it tough to carry out the transportation of petroleum products and other goods.
