USE THIS 1A* 👇👇👇
1a)
(1) Nearness to Markets:

Before starting an industry, an entrepreneur has to take into consideration the market potentialities of his product. If the market is quite away from the place of manufacture, transport costs will be high which will raise the selling price of the product in comparison with other similar products which are manufactured near the market. The former will thus decay soon.

(2) Availability of Finance:

Finance is the life of every industry. Industries are located in those areas where banking and financial facilities are easily available. As a matter of fact, capital is attracted to those areas where industries are localised which, in turn, attract more industries. Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai and Delhi being the centres of industry have better banking and financial facilities than other cities.

(3) Nearness to Raw Materials:
Nearness to raw materials is a dominant factor in the location of an industry, especially that industry which uses bulky raw material that is expensive to transport and looses weight in the manufacturing process. The concentration of iron and steel industry in Bihar is due to the availability of iron ore and other smelting materials there. Similarly, the localisation of sugar factories in UP and Bihar is due to the widespread cultivation of sugarcane which is bulky and costly to transport to other regions.

(4) Nearness to Sources of power:

Nearness to the sources of power is another important cause of localisation of industries. This explains the concentration of iron and steel industry near the coal-fields. The farther coal is carried away from the coal mines, the higher become the costs of transportation. But with the development of hydro-power and atomic-power, coal as a source of power has become less important because the former can be carried to hundreds of kilometres with comparatively less cost.

(5) Climatic Conditions:

Climatic or soil conditions in certain areas are suited for the production of a particular product. Such an area has got an overwhelming advantage over other areas. If efforts are made to develop other areas by artificial means, the cost of manufacture would be very high.
*SELECT 3*
3b) *Larger Capacity*: It can carry much larger quantities of heavy and bulky goods such as coal, and, timber etc.

*Flexible Service*: It provides much more flexible service than railways and can be adjusted to individual requirements.

*Safety*: The risks of accidents and breakdowns, in this form of transport, are minimum as compared to any other form of transport.

* Flexible Service*: It provides much more flexible service than railways and can be adjusted to individual requirements.

*Low Cost:* Rivers are a natural highway which does not require any cost of construction and maintenance. Even the cost of construction and maintenance of canals is much less or they are used, not only for transport purposes but also for irrigation, etc. Moreover, the cost of operation of the inland water transport is very low. Thus, it is the cheapest mode of transport for carrying goods from one place to another.

*Wwt*

Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

*Waec Upper room* Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away

Atmospheric pollution is the presence of undesirable material in the air in quantities large enough to produce harmful effects.

Atmospheric pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Car emissions, chemicals from factories, dust, pollen and mold spores may be suspended as particles.

*7a* Climate is the average weather in a given area over a longer period of time

Exfoliation is a process in which large flat or curved sheets of rock fracture and are detached from the outcrop due to pressure release: As erosion removes the overburden from a rock that formed at high pressure deep in the Earth´s crust, it allows the rock to expand, thus resulting in cracks and fractures along sheet ...

Weathering is defined as the gradual breaking down or disintegration of rocks by either physical or chemical process

(4b)

(i) Climate :Climate elements like temperature and rainfall are the major factors affecting Weathering. While physical Weathering is aided by temperature and water to break down rocks, chemical Weathering is aided by water and other gases in the atmosphere

(ii)Type of rocks : rocks are made up of different minerals while some are resistant to weathering others are not simply because of their differences in structure, composition and sizes of the rocks

(iii) Relief: very steep slopes like high mountains and courage weathering especially Frost action why gentle and even slopes favour chemical Weathering
