Answer 1

Answer:

3)The textile industry developed in Osaka due to several geographical factors. The extensive plain around Osaka ensured that land was easily available for the growth of cotton mills. Warm humid climate is well suited to spinning and weaving. The river Yodo provides sufficient water for the mills.

4)The Stanford Industrial Park was established in 1951. It played a key role in the development of the Silicon Valley. This park is a center of high technology. A large number of small towns developed high technical structures to meet the increasing needs of the industry in and around the Silicon Valley.

5)Iron and steel industry is often referred to as the backbone of the modern industry because almost everything is either made from iron or steel or has been made using tools and machineries of these metals. It plays an important role as a basic necessity of today's economy.
