Answer

  • Distribution of industries depend upon various physical factors like climate, raw material, water and power supply, labour, transportation, land, etc., and economic factors like capital, market and government policies.
  • Physical and economic factors vary from region to region and political factors vary from country to country.
  • Industries are developed where physical and economic factors are favourable for their development.
  • Thus, distribution of industries is uneven.
  • For example, in India industries are concentrated in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Chota Nagpur region and in the rest of India, agriculture is the only major economic activity.
