Question

Why cape of good hope sea route has less traffic?

Answer 1

This sea route is another important one across the Atlantic Ocean which connects West European and West African countries with Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay in South America. The traffic is far less on this route because of the limited development and population in South America and Africa. Only southeastern Brazil and Plata estuary and parts of South Africa have large-scale industries. There is also little traffic on the route between Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town because both South America and Africa have similar products and resources.
