Match the following terms with their descriptions:

Gross National Income per Capita = Single development indicator that may hide economic extremes Human Development Index (HDI) = Composite indicator measuring health, education, and standard of living Life Expectancy = Indicator used to evaluate health outcomes in a country Corruption = Potential misuse of government funds affecting development

Match the following countries with their characteristics:

Chad = Landlocked and expensive import/export Nigeria = Country known for corruption affecting resource management Saudi Arabia = Oil-rich country with high GNI but development issues Sweden = Country with high HDI and balanced wealth distribution

Match the following elements of HDI with their measurements:

Standard of Living = Measured by GNI per capita Knowledge = Measured by average years of schooling Health = Measured by life expectancy Human Development = Value expressed between 0 and 1

Match the following economic conditions with their implications:

High GNI = May not reflect equitable wealth distribution Economic extremes = Can indicate wealth disparity within a country Barter economies = Often excluded from traditional wealth indicators Fluctuating exchange rates = Make international comparisons unreliable Signup and view all the answers

Match the following factors affecting development with their impacts:

Poor education system = Low skilled workers unable to attract foreign investment Fertile soils = Ability to grow and sell cash crops Access to natural resources = Generates foreign currency for development Regional disparities = Differences in wealth and development within a country Signup and view all the answers

Match the following HDI elements with their roles:

Long and healthy life = Focus on improving life expectancy Knowledge = Involves educational attainment Standard of living = Reflects economic capability Policies of governments = Can be questioned based on HDI outcomes Signup and view all the answers

Match the following HDI focus areas with their significance:

Health = Represents quality of life improvements Education = Provides a skilled workforce for development Income = Is just one aspect of overall development Gender differences = Can highlight inequalities within countries Signup and view all the answers

Match the following criticisms of GNI with their explanations:

Averages disguise variations = High figures may not reflect living conditions Focus on wealth alone = Neglects other dimensions of human development Wealth concentration = Few wealthy families may exist among widespread poverty Neglect of informal economies = Barter and informal sectors often aren't included Signup and view all the answers

Match the following causes of malaria with their descriptions:

Female Anopheles mosquito = Transmits the Plasmodium parasite Stagnant water = A breeding ground for mosquitoes High humidity = Necessary for mosquito survival Plasmodium parasite = Causes malaria in humans Signup and view all the answers

Match the following malaria management strategies with their methods:

DDT spraying = Insecticide treatment on walls Genetically modified mosquitoes = Reducing mosquito population through sterility Mosquito traps = Using CO2 to attract and capture mosquitoes BTI bacteria = Feeding bacteria to mosquito larvae in ponds Signup and view all the answers

Match the following environmental factors with their requirements for mosquito breeding:

Temperature range = 15°C to 40°C Altitude = Below 3000 meters Rainfall = Creates stagnant water surfaces Shade = Provides resting areas for mosquitoes Signup and view all the answers

Match the following consequences of conflict or debt with their effects on health services:

Conflict = Increased spending on weapons Large debts = Less funding for health services Economic instability = Strained healthcare resources Migration = Spread of diseases like malaria Signup and view all the answers

Match the following breeding sites for mosquitoes with their examples:

Wells = Source of stagnant water Padi fields = Ideal for mosquito egg-laying Reservoirs = Contributors to breeding areas Informal housing areas = Poor sanitation leading to stagnation Signup and view all the answers

Match the following effects of population increase with their implications for malaria:

More buildings = Increased shade for mosquitoes Higher water demand = More stagnant areas for breeding Urban migration = Potential spread of malaria Increased habitats = More environments for mosquitoes Signup and view all the answers

Match the following challenges in malaria management with their descriptions:

Mosquito resistance = Reduction in effectiveness of DDT Cost of alternatives = Expensive insecticides for developing nations Rapid breeding = Difficulty in trapping all mosquitoes Technology access = Limited options for genetic modification Signup and view all the answers

Match the following natural predators of mosquito larvae with their benefits:

Larvae-eating fish = Provides food for farmers BTI bacteria = Targets mosquito larvae specifically Pesticides = Reduces adult mosquito populations Genetically modified mosquitoes = Aims to decrease future generations Signup and view all the answers
