Geo Notes-

TERM- Silvi-culture (making a forest artificially)


-Key Terms- Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary industries; Raw materials; Manufacturing; Value added; Services; Silviculture; GDP (Gross
domestic product (controlling growth and quality of forests to meet values and needs, specifically timber production); <Primary industries> involves
getting raw materials like mining, farming, and fishing; <Secondary industries> involves manufacturing like making cars and steel; <Tertiary
industries> providing a service like teaching and nursing; <Quaternary industries> involves research and development industries like IT; <Raw
materials> Examples: steel, oil, corn, grain, gasoline, lumber, forest resources, plastic, natural gas, coal and minerals; <Manufacturing>
Manufacturing is making goods by hand/machine that are given to a business to sell to a customer, items used in manufacture may be raw materials or
component parts of a larger product; <Value added> this is the value of gross output of producers less than the value of good and services consumed
in production before accounting for consumption of fixed capital in production; <Services> A service industry provides some type of aide to their
customers/clients/businesses, they involve in completing a mental of physical task to generate revenue, Examples- finance, retail, electronics,
software, medicine, non-profit; <Silviculture> controlling the growth and quality if forests to meet values and needs (specifically in timber production);
<GDP> Gross domestic product- measures the value of the goods and services that are bought by the user; -Fishery- (commercial) yellow pickeral
(walleye), white fish and perch, (cod maybe); <Cod industry> In 1992 the northern cod populations dropped to about 1% due to decades of
overfishing, then the the federal minister of fisheries and oceans put a suspension on fishing for cod which affected many people in Canada as it was
their only source of food/income still at the moment cod is a endangered species; <Types of Fishing> Trawling (big net), Longline (very long hooks),
Dredging (for clams and oysters); Subsistence fishing (main source of food), Trolling (boat or canoe), Jigging (traditional); -Forestry- The difference
between commercial forests and natural ones is in a commercial forest part of it has large enough tree and close enough to a marketing place for it to
be harvested by the forestry industry; <Types of wood> (mainly in Canada) spruce, pine, hemlock, douglas fir, larch, and western cedar (also birch,
maple and oak); <Forestry in Canada> The forestry industry is a huge contributor to the Canadian economy it has traditionally been manufacturing
lumber, panels, wood pulp, newsprint and paper in general; -Canada and global trade- Canada mainly trades to the US and is traditionally the top US
export market 17.5% of all goods from Canada go to the US and they trade over $2 billion in goods and services daily; The US, Mexico and Canada
made an agreement on having fair trades as Mexico was not getting a lot from Canada like the US; The top 5 countries that Canada trades with is:
USA, China, Mexico, Germany and Japan. <Industries> Huge investments would be needed for companies/industries to take off. When people invest
into industries they get some type of (co) ownership of the company/industry. A huge part of the company/industry to be a success depends on the
location. If the location is too far away from where products are to be shipped to or from it can cause them a lot of money just for transportation. The
location also matters because we need people to work in there companies/industries and if they live too far the company would have to compensate
for their transportation fees. -Renewable/Non-renewable Energy- A renewable energy source is one we can use over and over again like wind
electricity and solar electricity. A non-renewable energy source is one that will probably die out soon and won’t stay forever. This includes fossil fuels.
<Fossil Fuels> Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons that get released into the atmosphere (really bad) the main ones are: coal, oil and natural gas.

Question:
1. Natural environment resources - Oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone and sand

(Herring,salmon,swordfish)shellfish(shrimp,oyster,lobster,mussel)

3. Forestry difference between commercial forest and natural forest- Commercial forest is a part of a forest that has large
enough trees and is close enough to a market to allow it to be harvested by the forest industry.
4. Canadian energy sources- natural gas, nuclear, wind, coal, biomass, solar, and petroleum
5. Fishing question cod industry- in 1992 the federal government announced a ban on fishing cods firing 40k ppl from jobs.
6. Levels of industry primary secondary etc ( Primary industry,Manufacturing,Location Factors)
7. Fossil Fuels- r rocks,gas or liquid resources that are burned to generate electricity

9. Canada and Global trade- Two-way trade in goods and services totaled US$762.8 billion in 2021, and 2021 bilateral
investment stock totaled US$934.3 billion.
10. Level of industry 2- <Primary industries> involves getting raw materials like mining, farming, and fishing; <Secondary
industries> involves manufacturing like making cars and steel; <Tertiary industries> providing a service like teaching and
nursing; <Quaternary industries> involves research and development industries like IT
11. Forestry types of suitable hardwood and softwood- spruce, pine, hemlock, douglas fir, larch, and western cedar (also
birch, maple and oak);
12. Minerals ( difference between mine and the value)
13. Environment and mining- erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, or the contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface
water by the chemicals emitted from mining processes.
14. Linked with energy sources in the world- oil, followed by coal, gas, then hydroelectric power.
15. Types of non re newable and newable (wind, oil)nonrenewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy
16. free trade- Canada mainly trades to the US and is traditionally the top US export market 17.5% of all goods from Canada
go to the US and they trade over $2 billion in goods and services daily; The US, Mexico and Canada made an agreement on having fair

19. focusing on industry in Toronto
20. natural resources compared to our GDP- natural resources sector increased 6.5% and the economy-wide real GDP rose 4.6%
21. natural resource sectors and employment
22. forestry in canada- The difference between commercial forests and natural ones is in a commercial forest part of it has
large enough tree and close enough to a marketing place for it to be harvested by the forestry industry;
