2. Explain the factors which affect the location of
the industries
Answers
Explanation:
Industrial locations are complex in nature. These are influenced by the availability of many factors. Some of them are: raw material, land, water, labor, capital, power, transport, and market. For ease of convenience, we can classify the location factors into two: geographical factors and non-geographical factors.
Answer:
There are several factors that affect the location of industries like the availability of raw material, land, water, labour, power, capital, transport and market. Industries are usually located in temperate areas, sea ports and coal mines. When many industries are located close by, the place becomes known as an industrial region.
This is the reason why a government provides incentives like subsidised power, low transport cost and infrastructure to industries located in the backward regions of the country.
The three steps involved in an industrial cycle are: Input, Processes and Output.
The first step is putting together the inputs, like raw material, labour, cost of land, transport, power and other infrastructure. The second step is the process, which includes a wide range of activities that convert the raw material into finished goods like ginning, spinning, weaving, dyeing and printing. The final step is the finished product or the output that we use.
The major industrial regions in India are the Mumbai-Pune region, Bangalore–Tamil Nadu region, Hugli region, Ahmadabad–Baroda region, Chhota Nagpur industrial region, Vishakhapatnam–Guntur belt and the Kollam–Thiruvanathapuram industrial belt.
Industrial workers are sometimes required to work in a dangerous environment. Any lapse in the regular maintenance of technical equipment or irresponsible handling of hazardous material may lead to accidents.
