PHYSICAL FACTORS

Weather

Not all are favorable for the proper development of activities due to:

• The causes dryness in much of inland Spain almost all the agricultural land may become necessary and costly hydraulic works to meet the demand for irrigation water.

On the contrary, it is the excessive rainfall and low sunshine making in northern Spain to give more appropriate conditions for livestock than for agriculture.

Altitude

There is a relatively small percentage of land above sea level with optimal conditions for agriculture due to climatic effects associated excess altitude.

The slope

Most of the Spanish territory, both insular and peninsular, has another unfavorable factor: a predominance of hilly, with slopes that favor excessive

The Spanish territory: natural territorial units and major political and administrative

Secondary activities are also called manufacturing activities because these industries are a form of employment in wich things are made, assembled or produced.

Location; not all industries have the same location factors. For some it may be more important to be near raw materials. For others, is more important to be near labour, markets or a good transport system. For example; a food processing factory uses fruit and vegetables from nearby farms, a clothing manufacturer; the textile industry still employs many people. Factories mus be located near to the towns where these people live.

Location factors; physical factors (raw materials, energy supply, natural routes, site and land) human and economic factors (labour, capital, markets, transport,... Continue reading "+why industries located near coalfield" »

1.Where do people live?

People live in specific environments,called habitats.There are 2 main types of habitats:rural and urban.

The rural habitat

People who live in a rural habitat  live in the country.There are 2 types of rural communities:

•The scattered community.Dwellings are far apart,separated by the fields where families cultivate the land.

•The concentrated community.Dwellings and other buildings are grouped together to form villages or small towns.Agricultural activity is located around the village or town.

In rural environments,concentrated communities are more common.Their inhabitants have access to services,such as schools,health centres,shops or churches.

In developing countries,the rural population

ITEM 3. SPANISH RELIEF.

GENERAL FEATURES OF RELIEF.

This group contrasted richly diverse and that is Spain has three characteristics:

1. The high average altitude. Spain is 660 meters above sea level, altitude only country in Europe after Switzerland, with 1,300 m. This altitude is not the result of the existence of large and high mountain ranges, but a core set high, the plateau.

2. The peripheral disposition of the reliefs peninsular, which is to be understood in relation to the Plateau and in relation to the outline of the peninsula, whose boundaries are the main mountain ranges Spanish.

• For the North, C. Cantabrian with altitudes from 1,000 to 2,500 m short distance from the coast.

• On the east, although the jump is not so sharp, you have
