Final review

In the review, first recall the links between branches. Machine building takes raw materials and energy from metallurgy, chemicals and power, and in turn supplies equipment to agriculture, transport and construction, which is why it is called the “heart” of the economy. Metallurgy relies on ore, coal, gas and electricity, and non-ferrous metallurgy needs a lot of electricity. Textiles are a chain that turns cotton fibre into yarn, fabric and finished clothing. Oil and gas pipelines mainly run from producing areas to consuming centres; trace their route on the atlas map. The location of production depends on raw material, energy, labour, consumer and transport factors. The territorial division of labour has formed six economic regions: Tashkent (industry, science and services), Mirzachul (cotton, grain, newly developed land), Fergana (dense population, intensive farming, machine building), Zarafshan (gold, gas, karakul farming, historic cities), Southern (oil and gas, subtropical agriculture) and Lower Amudarya (rice, Aral Sea region problems). Remember that figures change from year to year, so understanding the branches and the skill of calculation matter. In electricity production, the shares of thermal, hydro, solar and wind stations can be calculated in percent.
