Unit 6 the primary sector

 Agricultural space is created when people modify natural áreas in order to use them for crop agriculture, livestock farming or forestry. Its composition is influenced by different factors: physical factors and human factors but I am going to explain physical factors.

Physical factors: they are composed by: climate, relief, soil, vegetation and economic factors

- climate: determinated by: Temperature and rainfall (Plant life is not possible in dry areas except with the help of irrigation) and adverses phenomenas like frost, hail and hailstorms that could damage crops.

- relief: determinated by: the sunlight that are more appropiate for crops
The wind that can damage crops
The slopes: makes agricultural work more difficult due to the plant's roots
The altitude: as more altitude more coldness so for this reason soil freeze and cultivation is no longer possible

- Soil: determinated by:
Thickness: the Deep soil is better for agriculture because roots had to have space
Nutrients: this is necesary for plant's life if the soil don't have nutrients the live of plants is no longer possible

- Vegetation: provides the soil with humus, so the more vegetation an área has, the more fertile the soil will be.

- economic factors such as Market, Capital, labour and Government Policies

the economy

THE ECONOMY

Is the responsable for the administration or use of resources which satisfy needs and wants of individuals and groups.
people to satisfy their needs and wants produce economic goods that can be: products or services

- products: are material objects such as food movile phones etc...
- services: work that is done for someone which doesn't `produce a material product such as transport education etc...

economic goods are limited and you can buy and sell them. That is why they have a Price.
to`produce this economic goods we need several resources called factors of production thet can be of different types:
natural resorces like the earth wáter plants etc...
human resources that is the people and their labour.

capital resources: money, infrastructure, machinery and equipment.
