Trees are cut down using harvesters, then loaded onto trucks that take them to a factory to be processed.]]> 2021-03-03 19:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265676524 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265758472 Secondary economic activities involve the processing of raw materials and producing new goods. Logs that are delivered to the factory are debarked. Then layers of the wood are peeled off in strips. These strips are cut into toothpicks and placed in a dryer for two hours to harden them. Then they are polished before going through quality control and getting packaged.]]> 2021-03-03 19:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265758472 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265790993 Tertiary economic activities involve services. The packaged toothpicks are sent to stores. Employees place the packages on shelves and sell them to customers.]]> 2021-03-03 19:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265790993 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265836943 Quaternary economic activities involve acquiring, processing, and distributing information. An engineer test how quickly a machine works and how many toothpicks it makes. They can also create a machine that works more quickly and makes more toothpicks.]]> 2021-03-03 20:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1265836943 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275171840 Brazil is one of the top ten timber producing countries. This is because Brazil contains a large amount of the Amazon rainforest. Since trees are cut down in order to expand farmland, much of that lumber is used to manufacture products.]]> 2021-03-05 19:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275171840 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275205382 Based on the population pyramid, I would classify Brazil as a newly industrialized country. This is because the rate of population growth is beginning to stabilize and decrease. Although primary economic activities are mainly found in developing countries, they still make up some of the economy of a newly industrialized country.]]> 2021-03-05 19:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275205382 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275239214 Many of the world’s products are made in China, including toothpicks. This is probably because many companies outsourced their factories to China, since China requires a lower wage to be paid to employees, there are less guidelines there, and because of reduced taxes.]]> 2021-03-05 19:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275239214 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275254927 Based on this population pyramid, I would classify China as a newly industrialized country. This is because the rate of population growth is beginning to stabilize and decrease. Secondary economic activities often make up at least a quarter of a newly industrialized country’s economy.]]> 2021-03-05 19:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275254927 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275272052 Canada has lots of grocery stores. Mainly because there are lots of people living there, all of whom need to buy necessities like food and water, and useful things like toothpicks. Since all of those stores need employees, this economic activity is located in Canada.]]> 2021-03-05 19:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275272052 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275331055 Based on this population pyramid, I would classify Canada as an industrialized country. This is because the rate of population growth is stable and has been at more or less the same amount for a few years.

This is probably because many companies started here and still keep most of their more important jobs here. So, an engineer who works on improving the design of toothpick machines would likely work in the US.]]> 2021-03-05 19:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275347232 s442443 https://padlet.com/s442443/zv8t5xrhh6xf40z2/wish/1275384534 Based on this population pyramid, I would classify the United States as an industrialized country.This is because the rate of population growth is stable and has been at more or less the same amount for a few years.
