Answer Text:
How Industrial Inertia influences location and development of industries:
-Tendency of an industry to remain in a particular place even when the factors for its location no longer exist e.g. industries in the Ruhr Region of Germany have remained at the same place despite closure of coal fields and decline in coal as an energy source.
Causes
- It may be expensive to move to a new place because new factory buildings would have to be constructed, buying new machinery and equipment.
-Due to availability of experienced workers.
- To avoid the problem of transportation and other basic infrastructural facilities.
