Chapter 8 Industrial Location and Cities & Chapter 9 Urban Core and Edge Cities
Please answer the following questions (each needs to be a minimum of 200 words – basically one paragraph):
Q1 Describe the relationship between the development and structure of cities and the processes of industrialization and deindustrialization. How do changes in the economy and labor market of cities affect the spatial structure of cities?
Q2 Using Figure 8.4, define Weber’s Least-Cost Theory. What are its advantages and limitations?
Q3 Define the Economic-Base Theory with its advantages and disadvantages. In what way does this theory differ from the Least-Cost Theory?
Q4 How are agglomeration economies built on Weber’s Least-Cost Theory? In what ways do they expand upon Weber’s theory? Use the American Mexican border economy as an example in your definition.
Q5 How is the concentration and agglomeration of economic activities measured in cities?
Q6 Define urban sprawl and explain its root causes. Use Chicago as an example in your definition and explanations.
Q7 What are edge cities and how are the related to urban sprawl?
Q8 What are the major environmental concerns associated with urban sprawl?

The objective of this assignment is for you to demonstrate an ability to communicate details about the Hayward Fault.
While you are absolutely allowed to write a standard academic report
Content : Among other things that you can explore are : how the fault moves and its tectonic context, how we can see evidence of the fault on the surface, the size of earthquakes it is capable of producing, some potential consequences of such an event, how the fault interacts with or influences structures on campus, …
The field trip stops provide ample opportunity to discuss those and explain that the stops are manifestations or consequences of the fault being nearby.
If submitting a standard report : The limit is 800 words. (The max limit is 850, anything beyond that won’t be taken into account.)
Grading: You will be graded dominantly on factual accuracy, not the quality of your art. We are looking for knowledge and critical comprehension.
Note: keep the words between 700-750. No more than that and no less than that. Cite the sources that you use. Also, DON’T USE CHAT GPT OR PLAGIARIZE THE CONTENT. Don’t use coursehero or any other homework site as well. I already have answers from them. I need original work. It will be run through turn itin and must be original.

Discussion #4 – Subjects Related to Real Life

4.1 Introduction
Hi and welcome to the fourth discussion of the class! As we quickly approach the end of the semester, it is important to reinforce how this class relates to real life. The goal of this week’s discussion is to talk or discuss about real events that we have learned about (or will learn about) in Geography (GEOG) 1112: Weather and Climate impact our everyday life. After you have talked about an event, you will then respond or reply to your fellow classmates.
The fourth discussion of the semester will be broken into 2 sections. You will need to complete both sections of the discussion to receive full credit. Please read the instructions carefully and if you have any questions, please contact your instructor.

The prompts for each are listed below.
Through this course, we have been slowly building our “base” or “blocks” about key concepts and definitions related to weather and climate. We are also moving into a severe weather and climate unit. It is beneficial to understand how these events can impact lives. It is important to understand how we can relate what we learn in this course to real life and tools that can help you in real life. You might not be going into a weather field but you can learn a lot from the weather around you and past events that have occurred.
I would like you to select an event presented to you in any part of the course (a topic we have discussed or will discuss). This could be anything from chapter 1 to chapter 7, from the temperature unit to severe weather to climate change. For your first post (thread), you MUST pick a prompt and answer or talk about the following SIX questions:
Prompt #1: A Past or Current Event in the News
