Match each manufacturing industry scenario on the left with its corresponding location orientation principle according to industrial location theory on the right.
- Lime and limestone processing into cement (e.g., Ewekoro plant)Raw material orientation due to significant weight loss during processing
- Commercial bakery and fresh bread productionMarket orientation driven by high perishable weight gain of finished goods
- High-tech semiconductor microchip assemblyFootloose orientation where transport costs are negligible relative to high value-to-weight ratio
- Heavy integrated iron and steel smelting (e.g., Ajaokuta steel complex)Break-of-bulk or resource junction orientation due to heavy multi-source inputs like ore, coal, and water
Answer
Lime and limestone processing into cement pairs with raw material orientation due to weight loss; Commercial bakery pairs with market orientation driven by perishable weight gain; High-tech semiconductor assembly pairs with footloose orientation due to negligible transport costs; Heavy integrated iron and steel smelting pairs with break-of-bulk or resource junction orientation due to heavy multi-source inputs.
Each manufacturing industry locates according to its dominant cost factor: raw material weight-loss favors locating near inputs (cement), weight-gaining perishable products favor consumer markets (baking), high value-to-weight items are footloose (microchips), and multi-input heavy industries locate at transport/resource junctions (steel).
