Study Notes

Alternative Energy Sources

Solar
Wind
Biomass
Tidal
Fossil fuels (Oil, Coal, Natural Gas)

Manufacturing Sectors

Three sectors:
Primary: Extractive industry (e.g., logging)
Secondary: Manufacturing using primary products (e.g., oil refining)
Tertiary: Service industry (e.g., insurance)

Manufacturing Reasons for Relocation

Proximity to raw materials, customers, water, power
Labor supply
Transportation factors
Political factors
Trade agreements (NAFTA, CETA)

The Service Sector

Basic jobs: bring money into the economy from elsewhere (e.g., papermaking)
Non-basic jobs: circulate money within a company (e.g., restaurants, convenience stores)

Demographics

Demography: Study of human populations
Natural Increase Rate: Difference between birth rate and death rate
Net Migration Rate: Difference between immigration and emigration
