What Does Ringing In The Ears Mean

Policy Chapter 3 - The activities of the European


's wealth and its economic model

  • Factors contributing to the wealth of Europe are varied: industrial production, advanced agriculture, farming with modern techniques, the advanced tertiary sector, communications, trade.
  • The socio-economic situation of the continent is higher than many countries and consequently there is a state of widespread welfare . Quality of life is measured by the following factors: gross domestic product per capita, infant mortality, life expectancy and individual consumption of electricity.
  • Europe follows the capitalist-liberal economic model : anything you can buy or sell, everything is private property ; making a bargaining between those who sell the goods and who buys them, and if the goods on the market are abundant, the price drops, if scarce, the price increases. The capital (money) is a necessary element in corporate life.
  • The State intervenes to regulate private economic initiative to minimize the economic imbalances. It is present with its companies, therefore the presence of private companies and state enterprises to create a mixed economy system .

Agriculture

  • Thousands of years ago started the process of felling of forests to obtain cultivated fields, in fact agriculture was the primary factor in the transformation of the landscape.
  • The agricultural landscapes are influenced by natural factors (the climate The landforms, the soil composition ) and human factors (the historical events, the agricultural techniques, the choices of individual farmers the policy choices) that influence each other.
  • There is a close link between the agricultural landscape and climate , because every product needs its own temperature, it is necessary to use in cold areas in greenhouses artificially heated.
  • The shape of the soil determines different agricultural landscapes: the sides of mountains have been terraced, but the hilly areas, flat on the soil cultivation methods are simpler. The composition of the soil may be permeable (dry and with a little water) or waterproof (water-rich).
  • There are several types of agricultural landscapes: landscapes closed fields - in which the land is divided into small irregular - and open fields - in which the land is divided into long strips and thin next to each other.
  • The
  • Mediterranean agricultural landscape is varied, is typical of mixed farming (ie, many different crops at the same time). In Europe there are 5 agrarian regions:

- L 'olive area: present the cultivation of vegetables, wheat and raise sheep and goats;

- L ' area of \u200b\u200bcereal and industrial crops : present the breeding of cattle and pigs;

- Area' s breeding of dairy cattle production with milk, butter and cheese;

- L ' forest area has a cold climate and agriculture is almost impassable, barley corn is grown;

- Area of \u200b\u200b'nomadic livestock : This is the tundra and the people follow the seasonal migrations in reindeer.

  • European agriculture is practiced in most areas of temperate climate . The main products Europe are: cereals, potatoes, sugar, tobacco, soybean, olive oil, wine and beer. Moreover, Europe matter : agricultural products, fish, coffee, tea, cocoa, bananas and exotic fruits, fats and oils, corn.

Forestry, Livestock and Fisheries

  • In northern Europe the forests represent an important economic resource , especially for the production of timber.
  • Nell ' central and northern Europe dominates the cattle and pig breeding , in' southern Europe is more common sheep and goat rearing .
  • The fishing has considerable economic importance to some countries of ' northern Europe such as Russia, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, as the North Sea is much more fishy the Mediterranean.

Mineral Resources

  • Europe has enough mineral resources low compared to other continents and the deposits are situated in areas geologically the oldest.
  • I metallic minerals that are underground in Europe are: iron, copper, zinc, tin, bauxite, mercury.
  • I energy minerals are coal, lignite (a type of coal), natural gas, uranium (used to produce atomic energy) and a little oil.

The tertiary

  • The internal and external trade is lively, in fact, takes place in Europe more than half of world trade. Europe generally importation of raw materials, finished products but exports (formerly industrial processes). Businesses are held more closely with the United States and developing countries.
  • With tourism, Europe is also called " vacation industry." It deals with numerous labor and represents significant revenue money to some countries.
  • I media mass communication (telephone, radio, television, newspapers, phones, Internet) use advanced technologies and are used to transfer a large amount of information.
  • Finally, financial assets are essential to the exercise of any economic enterprise: banks, insurance companies, stock ... and from these may be the stimulus for growth of the economic system or a sign of crisis.
