Urban Industrialization BasicsModels
This type of material, such as timber, is used in its natural state before processing.
What is a raw material?
A map of Great Britain with coalfields, canals, and early railroads represents this Industrial Revolution.
What is the First Industrial Revolution?
Farming, mining, and fishing belong to this economic sector.
What is the primary sector?
Core automotive manufacturing was concentrated in this U.S. region.
What is central/southeastern Michigan, eastern Indiana, and northwest Ohio?
DAILY DIFFUSION:
This event spread across Europe in the 1840s–1880s.
What is the diffusion of the Industrial Revolution?
Industrialization first diffused from Great Britain to these two world regions.
What are Western Europe and North America?
Early British industries located near coalfields and used these two transportation networks to move goods.
What are railroads and canals?
Manufacturing and processing activities belong to this sector.
What is the secondary sector?
Agglomeration is most evident along this corridor.
What is the Cleveland‑to‑Pittsburgh corridor?
The Industrial Revolution originated in this region.
What is Great Britain?
Both guilds and cottage industries relied on these types of tools.
Answer: What are hand‑operated tools?
Before railroads, this was the essential transportation feature for industrial growth.
What are navigable waterways?
A grocery store cashier works in this sector.
What is the service (tertiary) sector?
DAILY DOUBLE:
These entities benefit most directly from agglomeration.
What are companies?
The dates on the map represent this aspect of diffusion.
What is the timing of when industrialization reached each region?
Early industrialization clustered near this key geographic feature before railroads existed.
What is access to waterways?
A location where goods shift from one mode of transportation to another.
What is a break‑of‑bulk point?
DAILY DOUBLES
The quaternary sector clusters near these institutions.
What are universities or higher‑education institutions?
This type of industry locates near raw materials because inputs are heavier than outputs.
What is a bulk‑reducing industry?
Two types of diffusion associated with industrialization’s spread.
What are expansion diffusion and relocation diffusion?
This factor most strongly shaped the spatial patterns of early industrialization.
What is proximity to transportation and natural resources?
Least‑cost theory argues that industries should minimize this cost above all others.
What is transportation?
A shift toward the secondary sector typically leads to this major demographic change.
What is increased urbanization?
Paper manufacturing is an example of this type of industry.
What is a bulk‑reducing industry?
One factor that slowed diffusion in some countries.
What are political instability, lack of capital, or limited transportation networks?
