hey this is prob WAY too late, but who knows anyways:

TOPIC 4A: LOW POPULATION DENSITY IN NAMIBIA
LEDC in South Africa (Atlantic coast)
-GDP of $5200
-Independence in 1990
-Population density of 2.5/km2
-Desert, very dry
-Export minerals (by mining, e.g. diamond or uranium)
-Mining = 3% of the population the rest depends on subsistence farming

TOPIC 4B: HIGH POPULATION DENSITY IN JAPAN
-One of the most densely populated countries, 339/km2
-Most live in the coastal cities because the centre is very mountainous

-High Density urban areas (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya)
-Flat land so it’s easy to build
-Towns and cities, factories, offices, roads, railways
-Many ports and harbors
-Import of raw materials, export of goods, fishing

-High density rural areas: slopes of Hunshu and Kyushu islands e.g. village in Gifu
-crops grown because of fertile soil and flat land
- Easy to use machinery on flat land
-warm temperatures
-Good roads/communications

-Low Density rural areas: Northern Japanese Alps (2/3 of Japan is mountainous e.g. centre of Honshu island)
-not enough flat land to grow on
-soils are thin and acidic (infertile)
-isolated à poor roads and few communications
-little work
-extreme climates

Thanks, can you please answer my question too
sorry im late i hope you see this before the exam ..for the volcanic eruption

short term effects are those that happen to enviroment and happen at same time of the natural disaster
while long term are those that damages economy and takes long time to repair..
short term you can write :
pyroclastic flow ,volcanic bombs,lahars and lava flows ,may cause loss of life and kill people ,loss of farm land and forests

long term :
destruction of settlements
damage to infrastructure ,roads,airstrips,and ports
disruption of communications

and read this if u didnt get it hope this helps :)http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_short_term_and_long_term_effects_of_volcanoes_on_land

Hi I just gave geography paper 12 a couple of hours back - it's really, really easy!

Just relax! Most of the questions require more common sense and general knowledge than geographical informational.
