1 Revised 2017 NAME: PERIOD: Rubenstein: The Cultural Landscape (12 th edition) Chapter Eleven Industry and Energy (pages 382 thru 429) This is the primary means by which you will be taking notes this year and they are referred to in the course as Key Issue Questions or Guided Reading Notes. You will be expected to print out these pages from the class webpage and write the answers directly below each question. These notes are to be kept in a 3-ring binder for the entire year and will be the foundation for studying for the individual section reading checks and chapter tests, the Semester Exams, and the AP Exam in May.

What are the three site factors included in the geographic costs of deciding where to locate a factory?,, and 20. What are examples of manufacturing inputs? 21. Earth has natural elements, and about percent of the crust is composed of of them. These common elements when combined with thousands of rare ones form approximately different minerals. Minerals are classified as either being or. 22. What are examples of nonmetallic minerals? 23. What are common characteristics of metallic minerals? An alloy is a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion. 24. What are examples of metals used to make ferrous alloys? 25.
