What is interdependence?

Question 5 options:

Countries thrive with policies that promote isolation.

Countries must depend on other nations to provide some needs.

Countries are able to be self-sufficient with a little practice.

Weak countries cannot provide basic needs for their citizens.

Economic interdependence is when countries must rely on other countries to supply some of their needs like say how El Salvador depends on Honduras for cement and lumber whereas El Salvador may export manufactured products like Texas Instruments calculators to Honduras. Canada depends partly on California for fruit and vegetables in the winter though BC uses large greenhouses to grow local tomatoes and there are also farmer's markets. Most countries are not totally self sufficient in all products they need.
