1. Where is Industry distributed today??
Largest Markets
North America
Europe
East Asia
Why are these three the largest markets?
Largest population centers and most advanced technology.

2. Europe-West and Central
Home of the Industrial Revolution
Where does most of the industry in western and central Europe come out of?
Rhine-Ruhr River Valley
Note location of Rhine River and how it converges in one center. Also state how this was the base of most industry in Europe outside of Great Britain.
What did the river provide the people of Europe?
Do you see any foreseeable problems for the region?

4. East Asia Japanese manufacturing belt Kanto Plain Kansai District
Why is the Kanto Plain so successful? It’s location to harbor
Kansai district-Steel Mills, also located close to rivers

5. What is so essential about the East Asia manufacturing center?
Why is it so successful?(Hint: Think East coast America)
Why is it so remarkable that Japan is successful? Limit of natural resources

6. Leading areas of Industrialization
New England-Skilled but expensive labor
Middle Atlantic-Shipyards receiving foreign markets
Mohawk-Upper New York valley, connects to Great Lakes
Pittsburgh-”Steel city”
Western Great Lakes-Detroit, Chicago, Toledo
Pittsburgh-Three elements. Sports teams in the area-how important it is for those people
Can you think of any developing areas from the map?

7. What can you observe from this map in terms of where the majority of manufacturing takes place?
Do you see this changing at all today?
Is this at all indicative of anything economic?

11. Bulk-Gaining Industry
An industry in which the final product weighs more or comprises a greater volume than the inputs.
– Ex. Car Industry
Manufacturing plants located close to market

12. Bulk-Reducing Industry
An industry in which the final product weighs less or comprises a lower volume than the inputs.
– Ex. Iron-Ore
Processing plants located close to mining centers

13. Geography of Transportation
Truck – short-distance,
best for one-day delivery
Train – Longer distance, no need for stops, better for large objects
Ship – Low cost, cross- continental
Air – High cost, for small,
high-value packages
Pipeline – Only used for
liquids and gasses

14. Delivery? Ship, rail, truck, or air?
The farther something is transported, the lower the cost per km/mile
Cost decreases at different rates for each of the four modes
Truck = most often for short-distance travel
Train = used to ship longer distances (1 day +)
Ship = slow, but very low cost per km/mile
Air = most expensive, but very fast

15. Break-of- Bulk Points Break-of-Bulk Point
Points where portions of cargo are unloaded and
redistributed for redirection
Often to other modes of transportation

17. Labor Workers Labor-intensive industry Normally largest input in
production
Locate where most workers available at lowest cost possible to maximize profits
Labor-intensive industry
Industry where paying workers is high percentage of total costs

18. Land Factory Location Natural Resources
Large footprint so they locate outside cities where land costs are lower
Proximity to transportation
routes
Natural Resources
Used in production of product
Secondary Industries locate close to natural resources used

19. Capital Borrowed Money Tools of the craft Proximity to banking
institutions
Not as big a factor due to internet banking
Tools of the craft
Machines or tools used for doing the job
Ex. Tractor for farmer,
Stethoscope for doctor
