Document Summary
Product of a region"s physical geo, historical events, and economic situation. Why is regionalism prevalent: vast geographic size and varied phys geo, uneven pop distr, diff cultures/languages, diff patterns of historic settlements. Economic linkages for growth: backward linkage: supplies for staple industry, forward linkage: processing for export, final demand linkage: services needs of workers and families. Created canada-wide market for cdn goods, by inputting tariffs in foreign exchange. Prevented cdns from buying cheaper goods in us; poorly affected western canada b/c. Us had tariffs too and they were selling it cheap to them and had to buy more expensive items from core. Igneous: form molten rock that has cooled; hard, resistant to erosion, many minerals. Sedimentary: layered rocks that have undergone weathering and wind; not much minerals, flat. Metamorphic: pre-existing rocks that have been changed via extreme heat/pressure; sometimes minerals.
