One of the key concepts we aim to understand within Geography relates to the industry environment. What we mean by this applies to the ability to distinguish between the different industry functions. These different sectors play a significant role in our world environment and understanding of the diverse economies. To allow for greater insight into … Read more
Primary industries within the geographical context relate to the extraction of raw materials from the sea or land. Some examples relate to fishing, forestry, agriculture, mining or oil. The extraction of these core materials plays a key role to reach overall sustainability. It also ensures the survival of humankind through the use of these different … Read more
The Quaternary Industry plays a significant role to develop a country’s knowledge and scientific base. This industry similar to the Tertiary Industry focuses on services and intangible aspects of the economy. The difference between the two relates to the specialised component noticed in the Quaternary Industry. For example, this industry provides access to scientists, researchers … Read more
The Tertiary Industry connects directly with the Primary and Secondary Sectors but plays a different and unique role. This industry allows filling the spaces after the collection and refinement of raw materials. Services become available as a person sells you an investment or an organisation who helps you with a financial decision making process. The … Read more
The Secondary Industry plays a key role to drive the economy of a country. It also forces the global economy to expand and provides opportunities for countries to develop trade agreements. The Primary Industry extract raw material while the Secondary Industry uses these products to make the yields we use. The refined goods we purchase … Read more
Coastal deposition forms part of the coastal processes by delivering the collected material at a specific point. The process of collection and depositing at another space presents a complex system. Different facets influence the manner coastal deposition happens. These aspects include the manner waves fight against gravity and the use of friction to transport material. … Read more
One of the key components of the coastal processes refers to coastal erosion. Coastal erosion drastically allows for the removal of material at our beach areas. The material includes different rocks, particles or limestones, for example. These molecules or sediment picked-up by the ocean experience transportation to other coastal areas. The key challenge we face … Read more
Waves allow for the build-up or breakdown of our beaches. The intensity of the waves especially relies on the amount of energy it carries. Increased energy resources allow for significantly higher waves and more coastal erosion to occur. Two main concepts we need to take into consideration relate to constructive and destructive waves. These waves … Read more
Coastal transport forms part of the coastal processes approach. These coastal processes aim to build-up or break down the coastal zones. Subsequently, with the constant movement of waves, diverse materials become transported alongside significant distances. These distances can include thousands of kilometres. The movement of the different materials forms part of a balancing effect. The … Read more
Glacial Landscapes and the Economy There are plenty of ways in which glacial landscapes can be used to help the economy. These include: 1. Quarrying If you can get your hands on a map of a glaciated area in the United Kingdom, then you will be able to see that there are a lot … Read more
