Impact of Geography on Trade Routes

The Silk Road and other trade routes like the Trans-Saharan and Mediterranean routes facilitated international trade between regions by connecting China/Europe, West Africa/North Africa/Europe, and parts of Europe/Asia/Africa respectively, with their geography influencing the goods traded like silk, spices, gold and other commodities. Trade occurs when countries exchange surpluses for deficits, as geographical conditions may prevent a country from producing all its own needs; and recent research found temperature affects income through impacts on agriculture, labor productivity, and energy demand from climate change.

Geography
Land includes any natural resource used to produce goods and
services; anything that comes from the land. Some common
land or natural resources are water, oil, copper, natural gas,
coal, and forests. Land resources are the raw materials in the
production process.

In the case of cultivated products, soil, and climate are


considerations of first importance in determining the
variety obtained at different
places. But even with reference to such products, these are
not the
sole considerations. Facilities for finding a market, and all the
conditions that affect these facilities, have also to be taken
into account.

According to recent research, focusing specifically on the


effects of climate change on commerce. Temperature has
been found to affect income via agricultural yields, the
physical and cognitive performance of workers, and energy
demand.
