Latin America is a region, South America is a continent. Natural resources in Latin America vary between countries but the main ones are copper, iron, tin, oil, gold, silver and fish.

Answer 2

+ for chile that would be copper -its the largest copper producer in the world. its share is like a third of all the copper produced annualy.

+ brazil is producing more ethanol from sugar cane than the us is from maize. oil too.

+ argentina is rich in cattle, soy and wheat -early in the 20th century they fed the spaniards when they were fighting their civil war.

+ ecuador, colombia and above all venezuela are crude oil rich.

Answer 5

I have to say that Latin America's main natural resource is its people. It is amazing how in spite of all the economical and/or political problems they face everyday, these people remain optimistic about life, they work like h**l, they "invent" things when they have no money to buy them, they are happy and treasure their family values, etc.

If you want to know about each country specific natural resource, then google it and I'm sure it will appear. Dont know why you think the wrong answer will appear, it's all a matter of finding the correct article with serious facts posted.

Why are so many people giving us thumbs down????

Answer 6

When you write Latin America (South America) it means that you think that Latin America and South America are two words with the same meaning, which is not. First of all you should research what Latin America is and what South America is.
