If the supply of a product is high, the Price goes down. For example, if a shop has
too many t-shirts of the same type for sale , it will lower the price to encourage
people to buy them
If the supply of a product is low , the price goes up because consumers are
prepared to pay more. For example , a popular band is having only one concert in
the next year. Since many people will want the few tickets that are available , the
band can charge higher prices.

PART TWO -THE PRIMARY SECTOR
Definition
Physical factors
Here, there are some words and some definitions Q.11.First match them and have to
fill in blanks and write down the definitions:
The primary sector consists of
economic activities (crop agriculture ,
livestock farming, forestry, fishing and
mining) that obtain resources from
nature
Temperature
Frost, hail and hailstorms damage crops
Rainfall
Soil
Vegetation
Incline of slopes
Shady
Sunny
Altitude
Thickness; deep it is more appropriate for the
cultivation of most crops because roots have more
space to expand .Nutrients the more appropriate
nutrients it has, the better it is for agriculture.
South-facing sides are more appropriate for crops .
Plants need minimum rainfall ( 900-1200)to grow
North-facing sides aren´t appropriate for crops
Flat surfaces facilitate agricultural work and very steep
slopes make it more difficult
Plant need minimum temperatures (10 ºC) to grow
It provides the soil with humus, so the more
vegetation an area has, the more fertile the soil will
be.
Adverse
phenomena
For every 1000 m of altitude, temperatures fall by 6º C .
For this reason, after a certain altitude, cultivation is
no longer possible.
Strong winds can damage crops.
wind
7
Physical factors of the agrarian space.
Complete them
8
Human factors:
Q12. Match them
Population growth
Economic and technological
conditions
Land ownership
Population growth leads to the extension of agricultural
space because of the need to produce more food. A
decrease in population means that cultivated land is
abandoned because there are not enough people to work
the land or because it is not necessary to produce so
much.
They can be small (smallholdings)(minifundios) or large
(large estates)(latifundios)
Cultivated land can be owned by one person or several
people(cooperative or company…). The owner can work the
land directly or transfer it to other farmers who lease it or
work it as sharecroppers. The owner can also employ day
labourers
These also affect the composition of agricultural space. For
example, in some regions the land children inherit from their
parents is not divided up, while in other regions it is. That is
why some areas have many large estates and others many
smallholdings.
Agricultural policy
Agricultural space is a result of the measures and actions
taken by national government and international institutions
that affect crop agriculture and livestock farming.
A country´s economy and the demand for certain products
influence the choice of crops , the technology used
(machinery, fertilizers, pesticides, ) and therefore the
composition of agricultural space

Q.25. Forest exploitation.
To make sure that forest exploitation does not lead to the disappearance of forests,
forestry (silviculture )has to be managed so that, although forests are cultivated to
obtain products from them, the trees are allowed to regenerate and the forest survives.
For forests to regenerate, only the amount of timber and other products that can be
replaced by natural growth is extracted in any one year. When natural growth proves
difficult, reforestation is undertaken.
Forestry uses agricultural practices such as special machinery and selection of seeds
and fertilizers.

The Globalisation of the economy (listening) Q.8 Fill in the blanks
In today´s world , all countries are interconenected. They depend on each other t a large
extent and their economies have become integrated , so they form part of an enormous free
market system.
This process of global integration is called globalization:
ICT allows companies all over the world to be contact with each other. As a result we have
a global market
Multinationals and free trade zones are included in this big market.
The common markets also remove tariffs and allow the free movement of people and
capital between member countries. In practice, these countries adopt a common economic
policy towards other states.
1- Depending of Capital investment and labour it can be Extensive
livestock farming; capital investment (in feed, farms, etc.) is limited and
productivity low. The livestock is mostly cattle and sheep, and grazes on large
pastures in the open air or Intensive livestock farming ; capital investment (
in feed, farms, etc…) labour and productivity are high. Mostly cattle, pigs and
poultry are farmed.
2- Depending of food and feeding methods it can be grazing livestock;
animals feed on grass. This is an example of extensive farming or Confined
livestock animals are kept in sheds and covered pens, and eat feed. It is an
example of intensive farming . finally semi-confined livestock is when
cattle in summer eats grass and when there isn´t enough grass, they eat feed.
3-Depending mobility of livestock it can be Nomadic herding; herders and
their families are constantly moving with their animals in search of good
pasture or Transhumance when herders move their animals several times a
year between winter and summer pastures. Finally sedentary livestock
farming when animals don´t have to move around to obtain food because
farmers give them feed
