Question

Give geographical reasons:

What factors are responsible for non-development of industries in Central Australia?

Answer 1

Central part of Australia is covered by the Great Australian desert. Since it is a desert, physical factors like climate, water, raw materials, labour and transport facilities are not suitable for the development of industries. Because of these adverse physical conditions, the density of population is extremely low and therefore there are limited markets. Also, due to these unfavourable economic factors also industries are not developed in central Australia.
