My assigned state is Mongolia, which is a developing country. Its bordering countries are rather large: Russia, and China. The capital city of Mongolia is “Ulaanbaatar”. It is located near a river (Herlen Gol). I believe that cities such as Khentii, Erdenet, and Khovsgol are placed near rivers in order to have a water source that can be used for fishing, hydroelectricity, and as a resource to water crops in order to prevent them from dying. The western part of Mongolia is covered with mountains (Altay Mountains). In this region, the cities of Khovd, Ulgii, and Altanteel can be found. 3 of Mongolia’s natural resources: Gold, Tin, and Coal are abundant in different areas of the country. Tin is located in southern Mongolia near the city of Omnogovi.

For instance, the city of Sukhbattar (located in south eastern Mongolia) has direct access with the port of Zhuengadabugi. This allows the city to easily import and export goods/materials to China. Tin is most abundant in southern Mongolia near the city of Omnogovi. This city can benefit by using its nearby natural resource to create tin cans, paints, and materials used in house/ship building. Cities in eastern Mongolia such as Khentii, Ulaanbaatar, and Erdenet are most likely to be successful in agriculture because they have been placed near a river source, which allows the crops to stay watered, and the people to remain well fed. Crops that are grown may include potatoes, corn, and carrots. Mongolia’s other natural resource, gold, can be found near the capital city (Ulaanbaatar). Gold is in essence beneficial because it is extremely valuable and makes those who find a large chunk of it, rich. Coal can be found near the Altay Mountains, and the city of Khovd. This resource can be extremely useful because it participates in electricity and energy production. Not only might Khovd benefit from coal, but also from being at a high elevation, which could reduce floods and
