About the geography of light industry and heavy industry

Light industry refers to industries that mainly provide consumer goods and make hand tools. According to the different raw materials used, it can be divided into two categories: (1) light industry with agricultural products as raw materials, which refers to light industry that directly or indirectly uses agricultural products as basic raw materials.

It mainly includes food manufacturing, beverage manufacturing, tobacco processing, textile, sewing, leather and fur making, paper making and printing industries; (2) Light industry using non-agricultural products as raw materials refers to light industry using industrial products as raw materials. It mainly includes cultural, educational and sporting goods, chemical manufacturing, synthetic fiber manufacturing, daily chemicals, daily glass products, daily metal products, hand tool manufacturing, medical equipment manufacturing, cultural and office machinery manufacturing and other industries.

Heavy industry refers to the industry that provides the main means of production for the material and technological basis of all sectors of the national economy. According to the nature of its production and the use of its products, it can be divided into the following three categories: (1) extractive (logging) industry, which refers to the exploitation of natural resources, including oil mining, coal mining, metal mining, non-metallic mineral mining and timber harvesting industries; (2) Raw material industry refers to the industry that provides basic materials, power and fuel to various sectors of the national economy.

Including metal smelting and processing, coking and coke, chemicals, chemical raw materials, cement, wood-based panels, and power, petroleum and coal processing industries; (3) Processing industry refers to the industry of reprocessing and manufacturing of industrial raw materials. It includes machinery and equipment manufacturing industries, metal structures, cement products and other industries that equip all sectors of the national economy, as well as industries that provide means of production for agriculture, such as fertilizers and pesticides.

According to the above division principle, in the repair industry, heavy industry products are classified as heavy industry, and vice versa.

Light industry is an industry that mainly provides consumer goods and makes hand tools. The other definition is: refers to the industry that produces the means of consumption. Heavy industry refers to the industry that provides the main means of production for all sectors of the national economy.

The answer upstairs is incorrect, the computer rice cooker is a light industry, and it is a daily consumer product.

Heavy industry: tractors, aerospace industry, steel, etc.

Light industry: textiles, food, household appliances and so on.

Light industry: cotton textile industry, food processing industry, and other industries that provide means of living;

Heavy industry: iron and steel industry, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing industry and other industries that provide means of production.

Computers and rice cookers belong to the light industry.

Heavy industry is an industry that provides the means of production, such as electricity, steel.

Light industry is an industry that provides means of subsistence, such as food and clothing.

The region is concentrated, forming heavy industry hubs and heavy industry areas of various types and scales. This is because there is a coherence in the production of the mining industry, the power industry, the raw material industry and the manufacturing industry, and there is a close production cooperation relationship between various industrial sectors, such as the iron and steel industry, the chemical industry, and the machine manufacturing industry, so that the industrial layout is concentrated in the region, forming a heavy industry area with a large production scale and many departments. The geographical distribution of heavy industry is also more concentrated than that of light industry.

There are basically two types of famous heavy industry areas in the world: heavy industry areas that have developed on the basis of local resources. Famous ones include the Great Lakes of the United States, the Ruhr of the Federal Republic of Germany, the West Midlands of the United Kingdom centered on Birmingham, the Donbas region of the Soviet Union, the Kitakyushu of Japan, and the central Liaoning region of China.

Most of these heavy industry areas have developed on the basis of local coal or coal and iron resources, and have developed a variety of machinery manufacturing industries on the basis of the iron and steel industry, and have developed chemical industries using the by-products of coal, coking and metallurgy, forming a multi-sectoral comprehensive heavy industry zone. The southern region of Texas in the United States and the middle reaches of the Volga River in the Soviet Union have established a strong petrochemical and petroleum machinery manufacturing industry on the basis of local oil resources. A heavy industrial zone developed by taking advantage of the favorable geographical location and convenient transportation conditions.

Famous ones are the Atlantic coast of the United States, the southern part of Japan's Honshu Island along the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea, the Soviet Union's ** industrial area, and China's Shanghai area. Except for Japan, where the steel, machinery, and chemical industries, which have developed strong iron and steel, machinery, and chemical industries using imported iron sand, coal, petroleum, and other raw materials, and form a heavy chemical industry system, all other wards are a variety of manufacturing industrial zones with machinery manufacturing as the main focus.

Conceptually, there are.

Heavy industry produces "products (machinery, etc.) or industrial raw materials used in the production of consumer goods".

Light industry produces direct consumer goods.

So as long as you find a product that can not only be used as an industrial raw material, but also can be directly used for daily consumption.

This industrial sector is both heavy and light industry.

For example, electricity in heavy industry, coal can also be directly consumed, which is of a light industry nature.

Glass jewelry in light industry can also be used in industrial production.

But for the sake of convenience, they are strictly divided. So theoretically, there is no department you said.

The manufacturing industry is mainly a variety of machinery manufacturing industry, electronics, electrical appliances and instrumentation industry, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, plastics and other chemical deep processing industries. The requirements of the layout are more complex, and it is necessary to be close to both the raw material area and the consumption area. The industrial layout of intellectual cutting-edge technology represented by the new generation of integrated circuits is dominated by intellectual "soft elements" such as intellectual resources, technological development, and intelligence information.

Silicon Valley in California, the United States, the "Silicon Plain" in Dallas, Texas, and the "Silicon Island" in Kitakyushu, Japan, are all typical world-famous electronic industry bases.
