Geography
employment sectors
Primary sector
retrieves natural resources (fore.g fishing, mining, farming)
-
Tertiary sector

-
-
LEDCs
poorest countries mainly primary, more developed shift to secondary
Globalisation

-
-
liberalisation of markets - reduced tariffs (tax for trade between countries) and lax on governmental regulations + tax -
encourages more trade
Negatives
-
centralisation of markets/dependancy between MEDCs and LEDCs means that the rich will always be rich and the poor will always be poor (relatively)means

Tectonics
Structure of the earth

plate boundaries
-
Conservative plate boundaries - Two plates sliding away from each other or moving in the same direction at different speeds
-
Destructive plate boundaries - Two plates (one oceanic, one continental) colliding together
-
-
earthquakes usually happen at conservative plate boundaries, sometimes at destructive
