“Major concentration of modern manufacturing industries have flourished in a few places of the world.” Examine.

Solution
Major concentration of modern manufacturing industries have flourished in a few number of places.
These cover less than 10% of the world’s land area. These nations have become the centres of economic and political power. However, in terms of the total area covered manufacturing sites are much less, conspicuous and concentrated on much smaller areas than that of agriculture due to greater intensity of processes.

For example 2.5 sq. km. of the American com belt usually includes about four large farms employing 10-20 workers supporting 50-100 persons. But the same area could content several large integrated factories and employ thousand of workers.
