Answer:
Many production activities are rooted in the limits set by the physical environment. For example, logging is only possible in a forested region. The unequal distribution of minerals makes mining only possible in areas where specific minerals occur.
Economic activity or production of specific goods is sometimes dictated by cultural considerations. For example, culturally-based food preferences, rather than environmental limitations may dictate the choice of a crop or a livestock farm. Maize is a preferred grain in Africa, Rice in Asia, and Wheat for North Americans. Pigs are not reared in Muslim countries
