Why are some areas rich in certain resources, while other areas don't seem to have any natural resources

The geographical occurrence or spatial distribution of earthly resources made them abundant at some place and lacks at other.

Explanation:

Low latitudes regions receive more energy and plenty of rainfall from the sun, while higher latitudes obtain less energy from the sun and little rainfall. Metallic minerals are easily available in regions with strong tectonic activity, and fossil fuels are found in sedimentary rocks. The plains deliver flat landscapes and rich soil which is ideal for growing crops, on the other hand, steep hills and dry areas are more difficult for the activity. Therefore climate and geography play a vital role in the uneven distribution of natural resources across the globe.
