Unit 6 Week 3

concentration of similar or related industries in one place

• Agglomeration

• Deglomeration

• Growth Pole

• Weber's Theory

determines location of industry/manufacturing based on transportation, labor, and agglomeration

• Growth Poles

• Bulk-Reducing

• Weber's Theory

• Locational Interdependence

(Transportation cost + labor cost) – agglomeration

• Deglomeration

• Weber's Theory

• Cost/Location of Industry formula

• Bulk-Reducing Industry

deconcentration of similar industries in one place due to technological advances or increased cost due to competition

• Agglomeration

• Deglomeration

• Weber's Theory

• Bulk-Reducing Industry

area of country where specific industries agglomerate, attracting growth within industry, housing, and local markets

• Bulk-Reducing

• Growth Pole

• Bulk-Gaining

• Locational Interdependence

Silicon Valley (for technology/computer programming), Research Triangle (for medical research)

• Agglomeration

• U.S. Growth Poles

• Deglomeration

• Weight Gaining

industry where finished products cost more to ship to markets than raw materials cost to ship to manufacturing centers

• Bulk-Gaining Industry

• Bulk-Reducing Industry

• Growth Poles

• Weber's Theory

industry where raw materials cost more to ship to manufacturing centers than finished products cost to ship to markets

• Growth Pole

• Deglomeration

• Bulk-Reducing Industry

• Bulk-Gaining Industry

same as bulk-gaining

• Agglomeration

• Weight Gaining

• Substitution Principle

• Weber's Theory

idea that industry can vary expenses so long as labor, agglomeration, and transportation cost don't increase simultaneously

• Locational Interdependence

• Weber's Theory

• Weight Gaining

• Substitution Principle
