Look at North Africa and West Asia for differences. 1. Name three coastal and two landlocked countries in these regions. 2. Conduct research to find out how many countries in these regions suffer deaths caused by poor sanitation and dirty water. 3. Name the continents and regions that have the fewest deaths. 4. Why do you think this spatial pattern exists? (Hint : look at maps in your atlas that show wealth.) 5. Choose an aid agency from this topic and learn how they help with sanitation and clean water.
