1.2. Nurseries: Location and raw materials

1.2.1. Nurseries have plants and trees for decoration. It is usually found near urban areas like markham and toronto. It need to have light textured soils to supply nutrients. Raw materials includes fertilizer, peat moss and mulch.

1.3. Coffee: Location and Labour

1.3.1. Coffee is made in tropical areas like south america. The reason is because the trees needs plenty of sunlight to live. It need lots of labour to hand pick so much beans. Each tree produce 0.7 Kilograms of coffee.

6.3. Plains and Lowlands

6.3.1. when Pangaea splitted, the riveres had sediments and eroded materials, which made sedimentary rock. New land was found around the shields. It was plains with layers of sedimentary rocks.
