Which of the following concepts explains the decision to re-locate market-oriented factories in the United States from the Midwe

st and North east to locations in the southern United States or Mexico?
A. Comparative advantage, because products can be made more efficiently in the southern United States and Mexico. Operating costs and wages are lower, and the manufactured products are easily transported to major United States markets.
B. Growth poles, because governments in southern United States cities and Mexico strive to stimulate economic development by providing a guaranteed market for all products manufactured at these locations.
C. Just-in-time delivery, because the United States population is shifting to the south and west, and the Mexican population is growing. It is critical to produce goods closer to the consumer base to reduce shipping times.
D. Complementarity, because the regional economy of the midwestern and north eastern United States is shifting to the service sector. There is little interest in maintaining manufacturing at these locations.
E. Post-Fordist production, because traditional midwestern and north eastern manufacturing centers in the United States are unable to keep up with the technological changes of modern industry.

Answer: A. Comparative advantage, because products can be made more efficiently in the southern United States and Mexico. Operating costs and wages are lower, and the manufactured products are easily transported to major United States markets.

Explanation: Comparative advantage of a location is the ability to produce a good at lower cost than elsewhere. Lower wages, as well as lower operating costs in Mexico and Southern states achieve this comparative advantage by reducing total cost. Their locations are still quite close to the Midwest and North east, in contrast with popular outsourcing locations such as China. It therefore makes sense to relocate factories to these locations.

  • The keyword to remember for fermentation is the action of enzymes.
  • Cellulose is extremely abundant and is found in plants.

A transform boundary occurs where plates slide against each other. <br> a. True<br> b. False
STatiana [176]

The correct answer is - True.

The transform boundaries of the tectonic plates are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding against each other. As they do that, they do create geological activity around the boundary, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. Another trademark of these boundaries are the faults, that stretch for several km in a linear manner, usually parallel to the boundary itself. Most of these faults are located in the ocean basins and they are connecting the offsets of the mid-ocean ridges, but they can also be found on land, like it is the case in California.

What are cool things about birds
skelet666 [1.2K]
Well they can fly duhh. But there are other things as well they are very good hunters believe it or not birds have to use certain techniques to catch and find worms and other foods like the eagle as big as an eagle is the fact that it can make a top notch stealth approach on any of its prey is amazing. The way birds learn to fly is crazy but fascinating while birds are babies the parent pushes them off a high tree branch and wait till they get to a certain point if they don't fly they swoop down and catch them and do it again. This is to build the instinct within the baby bird to flap their wings. Now... When the bird gets to a certain age they should know how to fly unless they've broken a wing from all the times of falling from 80 foot trees or higher. But anyway the parent pushes them off for the last time and if they fly they go away and stay away forever but if they don't the parent must let them fall to the ground because at that point the bird won't survive in case of a predator attack.
