Also known as manufacturing industries Secondary Industries Also known as manufacturing industries When people make things from natural resources – FACTORIES F. Ciangura
Tertiary industries = jobs which give a service, such as doctors. Primary industries = jobs which collect raw materials, such as farming. Tertiary industries = jobs which give a service, such as doctors. F. Ciangura
Some key words: Natural resources = are things found in nature… grown, found in the sea or land. Labourer = worker Car assembly plant = factories where cars are put together and built. Construction industry = building industry Power = the energy needed to work the machines. F. Ciangura
Employment structure: In very poor countries, most people work in the primary industry e.g. farming e.g. Bangladesh In rich countries, most people work in the tertiary industry e.g. tourism e.g. Malta. F. Ciangura
Where can I build my factory? Simple, You have to find the best SITE!! Near power Near raw materials e.g. coal Next to market Near good transport Near workers F. Ciangura
a) TEXTILE MILLS F. Ciangura
SHEEP Textile industry Wool Textiles / Clothes Primary Industry Secondary Industry F. Ciangura
Where can I build my textile mill? 1. Near raw materials = sheep farming 2. On flat land = easy to build factory 3. Next to power = HEP (rivers) or coal 4. Near rivers= to transport raw materials and finished goods (on boats) 5. Close to a good market= in places which are populated F. Ciangura
b) IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY F. Ciangura
A) Raw materials include: COAL Iron ore Limestone F. Ciangura
Process involves: 1) THE COAL IS BURNT. 2) IRON ORE IS ‘COOKED’. 3) LIMESTONE (rock) is added to ‘clean’ it. 4) The IRON in the iron ore, melts and comes out as very hot material – iron or steel F. Ciangura
Finished products: bridges Car parts trains Steel cables and sheets F. Ciangura
Where can I build my iron and steel industry? + Near good ports Very simple! LOTS OF RAW MATERIALS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE SMALL AMOUNTS OF STEEL – SO BUILD YOUR INDUSTRY NEAR RAW MATERIALS = ON COALFIELDS OR NEAR LIMESTONE HILLS + Near good transport + Near water for cooling F. Ciangura
Many people went to live near coalfields as there was a lot of work. Coalfields became crowded. Today, many coalfields have used their raw materials and now provide no more work and are abandoned. -no jobs, factories closed, abandoned places, Environment spoilt! F. Ciangura
c) CAR INDUSTRY Build it near market!! Where many people live and there is a large demand! F. Ciangura
Car assembly plants F. Ciangura
A modern car consists of many small parts, each part is made in its own factory. These factories doing different parts are close together and assemble the car next to the market -> next to big cities. F. Ciangura
Car assembly plants need- To be found near markets Large flat land for parking Near good roads – motorways / railways Good supply of electric power F. Ciangura
d) HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES High tech industries are those factories that make microchips, computers, mobile phones, medicines, and scientific equipment. These do not need a lot of raw materials, and do not make bulky products like cars, so they can be located ANYWHERE !! d) HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES
Normally in nice environments Pleasant climate Next to good roads and airports Next to universities Next to greenfield sites = parks F. Ciangura
e.g. The Sunrise Strip along the M4 corridor in England Science or business parks are a group of industries or business companies that locate at the edge of town F. Ciangura
Industries in the Inner City Industrialisation began in Britain in the 18th and 19th century. The steam engine was discovered- when coal is burnt, it gives a lot of energy that can be used to work the machines. F. Ciangura
Many people left the countryside to go to work in factories. These were poor people and had no money and no transport. They lived very close to the factory –to go to work on foot They lived in very small houses lacking all amenities (water, electricity etc) F. Ciangura
F. Ciangura
FACTORIES IN INNER CITY Poor houses The city started getting larger. Factories were built in the centre, and had no room to expand. There was a lot of pollution Poor houses Factories More buildings F. Ciangura
What had to be done to redevelop the inner city? Demolish old factories Rebuild better, larger houses with more amenities Make wider roads for cars and new railways More parking spaces Clean the rivers Make museums out of some old factories F. Ciangura
Malta The Secondary Industries in Malta: form 23% of its economy The service sector (tertiary) forms 74% of Maltese economy- mostly tourism F. Ciangura
Industrial estate = a group of factories that locate near each other. Include: Bulebel, Ricasoli, Marsa, Cordin, San Gwann, Hal Far, Xewkija (Gozo) F. Ciangura
