Why is access to markets is important for locating steel plants?

1 answer:

4 0

It is important that steel plants are close to markets because their main input, scrap, is widely available. The new steel mills begin to approach the markets and move away from the inputs. At the end of the 20th century, most steel mills in the United States are closed. The survivors are found on the south side of Lake Michigan and on the east coast. Proximity to markets has become more important than the traditional situation factor of proximity to inputs. The growth of manufacturing in the United States was delayed during the nineteenth century, mainly due to the distance of the markets.

A hybrid car vehicle operates about 20 dB less than a typical gasoline-powered car,resulting in a hundredfold decrease in sound

Flauer [41]

Due to this decrease, <span>the government is considering making gasoline-powered cars just as quiet.
It is impossible to get rid of gasoline-powered cars completely in favor of hybrid cars, but what the government can do is make these cars better so as to improve living conditions as well. If these cars are quieter, it will be better for your health too. </span>

Compare your experience to the lives of humans who chose to move to early cities. If you live in a town or city, are your reason

EleoNora [17]

This is a question that may be different for everyone.

So, let's say you live in New York City in 1910. What are some of the pros and cons of living in a city compared to the country?

Pros:

-Access to running water
-Closer to doctors and hospitals (which weren't very helpful back then, anyways, but that's a whole different thing)
-More jobs
-More jobs that weren't physically involved
-Near latest technology
-More food
-More luxuries

Cons:

-Disease spreads faster in close conditions
-Losing ability over millenia of farming, and becoming more modern
-Being poor is relatively common

Now, think about modern-day NYC. Why would you want to live there instead of out in the country?

Now, imagine yourself as an early human. There are more opportunities, etc. Why would you want to live in a city vs. the country?

Comparing time periods is a helpful exercise when looking at history, so I helped the NYC example helped with your perspective :)
