Road Advantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*Speed of delivery is high
*Door-to-door service
Rail Advantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*Carrying capacity is high
*The rapid speed of delivery
Water Advantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*It has high carrying capacity
*Cost-effective for heavy and bulky goods
Air Advantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*It has high speeds
*There is no physical barrier to this transport mode
Advantages of HS2 (give 3 min)
*Bridges the North/South divide
*Create 30,000 jobs
*Estimated to increase the UK’s GDP per Capita by 15bn per year
*Move trillions of roads and air trips to rail
*Improve journey times for commuters
Disadvantages of HS2 (give 3 min)
*Argued more wealth sucked to London
*Original price of 33bn has spiraled to 100bn+
*Trains will use more than 50% of energy compared to Eurostar trains
*250 acres of green belt land will be built on
*Money should be spent on other services e.g. NHS
what did containerisation do?
led to the decline of ports like the London Docklands
exploit
the use of natural resources for economic growth
all four industry sectors
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary
what is the primary industry
the act of gathering or extracting of raw materials e.g. farming, fishing, mining
what is the secondary industry
the act of manufacturing (or making products from these raw materials e.g. food processing, making clothes, furniture
what is the tertiary industry
provides a service e.g. nurse, doctor, teacher, cashier
what is the quaternary industry
for the future - includes hi-tech research and development industries e.g. computers, phones and medicines
what factors affect the location of an industry? (give 3 min)
*access/location of raw materials
*access to energy supply
*site- flat land, room to expand
*labour - cost, skill level, quantity
*proximity to market
*transport routes
*cost of land
*capital (money to invest)
*greenfield or brownfield site
*government policies
what factors affect economic development and quality of life? (4 min)
*Globalisation (the way companies, products, ideas and lifestyles are moving more easily around the world)
*Income per person (GNI per Capita - Gross (average) national income per person)
*Life expectancy - estimate of the average a person from a group will die
*Health - (access to healthcare)
*Literacy - (the ability to read and write which affects job availability)
*Housing - (access to a safe and healthy home)
*Economic Growth - (the increase of an economy produce (goods / services) which give business profits)
Rail Disadvantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*Timetable and routes restricted
*Expensive cost for constructing and maintenance
Road Disadvantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*Emission of noise pollution and toxic materials
*Possible traffic delays
Water Disadvantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*It has high time for shipment
*The risk of accidents is high as the ship/boat could sink/lose cargo
Air Disadvantages -Mode of Transport (2)
*It is the costliest out of all other modes of transport
*It needs trained individuals for a successful flight
describe the development of primary industry over time (3 periods)
-Pre-industrial (1800 AD) High (70%)
-Industrial - goes down a lot - (around 35%)
-Post-industrial (2000 AD) stabilises (10%)
describe the development of secondary industry over time (3 periods)
-Pre-industrial (1800 AD) low (20%)
-Industrial- small climb - ( around 50%)
-Post-Industrial (2000 AD)- dips down again (30%)
describe the development of tertiary industry over time (3 periods)
-Pre-industrial (1800 AD) low (10%)
-Industrial - small climb (around 35%)
-Post-Industrial (2000 AD) high (60%)

-Post-Industrial (2000 AD) - starting big climb - low (5%)
economic development and employment between HICs
UK
very little primary (barely any)
around 1/6 secondary (a decent amount)
over 75% tertiary (a huge amount)
economic development and employment between LICs
Ethiopia
75% primary (a lot)
secondary 1/3 of what is left (a little bit)
2/3 of what is left tertiary (a decent amount)
economic development and employment between MICs
China
around 1/3 primary (a lot)
around 1/2 of what is left is secondary (a decent amount)
tertiary is equal to secondary (a decent amount)
