A world map showing Gross National Income (GNI) per capita (PPP) in 2021. The map uses choropleth shading to show levels of wealth: high GNI per capita (40,000+)isshadeddarkgrey(e.g.,USA,Norway);mediumGNIpercapita(40,000+) is shaded dark grey (e.g., USA, Norway); medium GNI per capita (40,000+)isshadeddarkgrey(e.g.,USA,Norway);mediumGNIpercapita(10,000–39,999)isshadedmid−grey(e.g.,Bolivia,India,SouthAfrica);andlowGNIpercapita(under39,999) is shaded mid-grey (e.g., Bolivia, India, South Africa); and low GNI per capita (under 39,999)isshadedmid−grey(e.g.,Bolivia,India,SouthAfrica);andlowGNIpercapita(under10,000) is shaded light grey (e.g., Chad).
Suggest two reasons for the global pattern of wealth shown in Figure 9a.
