European Regions - Test yourself
We compared and contrasted two European Regions:
The Paris Basin (Core economic region)
The Mezzongiorno (Peripheral economic region)
1. Draw an A4 sketch map of the Paris Basin (framed, titled, labelled) showing:
region, neighbours, two main rivers, two main features of relief and two main urban centres
2. Draw an A4 sketch map of the Mezzogiorno (framed, titled, labelled) showing:
region, neighbours, two main rivers, two main features of relief and two main urban centres
Then: You must list key details for each region using the following indicators:
Primary Economic Activities (main one studied: Agriculture plus forestry and fishing)
Secondary Economic Activities (Industry)
Tertiary Economic Activities (Transport and Tourism)
