Study Notes
Geography
- Geography studies Earth's surface, features, inhabitants, and phenomena's distribution.
- Branches include physical (e.g., climate, landforms, water), human (e.g., population, culture, economies), and regional geography.
- Geographic factors (location, climate, resources) influence economic activities and development.
- Location impacts trade routes, market access, and resource acquisition.
- Topography and climate affect agriculture and resource extraction.
- Regional variations explain cultural and societal diversity.
Industries
- Industries transform raw materials into finished goods or services.
- Categories include primary (extractive), secondary (manufacturing), and tertiary (service).
- Primary industries extract Earth resources (agriculture, mining, forestry).
- Secondary industries process raw materials (manufacturing, construction, processing).
- Tertiary industries provide services (retail, transportation, communication, finance).
- Industrial development depends on resources, technology, and market demand.
- Industrialization promotes economic growth, job creation, and improved living standards.
- Industrial activities can cause pollution.
- Geographic factors (resources, labor, transportation) influence industrial location and growth.
- Global competition and trade agreements affect industry location and output.
- Innovations and technology continuously change industries.
- In developed countries, the service sector often grows while manufacturing declines.
- Sustainability and environmental concerns are vital for industrial development and operation.
Interplay of Geography and Industries
- Geographic factors (resources, transportation, climate) affect industrial location.
- Industries modify the landscape through infrastructure, pollution, and land use changes.
- Resource availability determines the type and scale of industries.
- Industrial development impacts human settlement and population distribution.
- Trade routes, following geographic paths, are crucial for moving goods.
- Geographic limitations (disasters, resources, accessibility) can hinder industrial success.
- Geographic areas become industry hubs due to expertise, infrastructure, or history.
