Similarities Between South America And Spain

Comparing and Contrasting Spain and Bolivia

The similarities and differences that can be found between Bolivia and Spain are both vast and varied. Spain is a largely coastal country, meaning that it is surrounded by water on many of its sides. Bolivia is completely landlocked, although one side is somewhat close to the sea. Spain is near Europe, within distance of many different countries. Bolivia however is on the side of South America, closer to the equator than Spain. Because of these differences in location, there are many differences that arise between the countries themselves. These differences are what define the countries and make them unique. Yet while both of these countries have differences, there are also similarities that can be

It is one of the most diverse countries that can be studied (Spain, 2015). Spain has borders of France, Portugal, and Morocco, but much of the country is coastal. Because the country is so close to other countries, it is able to get needed supplies and exports. Spain is diverse in its geological aspects as well. It contains both the youngest and oldest rocks which can be found in Europe (Spain, 2015). Spain’s network of streams is considered very dense. (Spain, 2015). These streams allow for agriculture as well as the import and export of goods into the country. These attributes make Spain valuable as well as fairly wealthy as a country. However, although diverse, Spain is not without its problems. One major issue is the problem of “desertification”, or the creation of deserts due to loss of water. Large amounts of water are being taken out of coastal regions and aquifers due to tourists, those who live there currently, and agriculture. This is causing an extreme “desertification”, to the point where one third of Spain is considered endangered (O’Reilly, 2005). Ironically, along with desertification, flooding is also a potential hazard simply due to the irregularity of the rivers and the issues with watershed (Spain, 2015). While the rivers are a
