Question

How does the geography of the United Kingdom impact trade?

A) Countries are reluctant to trade with a nation that is so far north.
B) It is in a part of Europe that cannot be reached during winter months.
C) Other nations are too far away and cannot trade with them on a regular basis.
D) It can be more expensive to import and export goods because it is an island nation.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.It can be expensive to import and export goods because it is an island nation because Most goods have to be imported or exported by ship rather than by truck or train. This can potentially add to the cost of goods entering or leaving the country. This situation has been helped, though, by the creation of the Chunnel, a train that travels between the United Kingdom and France underneath the English Channel.
