- Weber's theory does not account for the fact that markets and labour forces are often mobile

- The Least Cost Theory does not take into account that the labour force contains some variance, in skill sets, gender, age, language etc.

-Weber's theory also assumes that all transportation costs are directly proportional to the distance from the market, although this is not necessarily true. (Especially in today's global economy)

Did Albert Einstein figure out what black holes are?

The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).The modern understanding of black holes, or at least the initial calculations, were not figured out by Albert Einstein, but by Karl Schwarzschild (based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity).

How did Antoine lavoisier disprove the phlogiston theory?

Antoine Lavoisier disproved the phlogiston theory by experimenting with combustion reactions and showing that burning substances gained weight instead of losing it. He demonstrated that oxygen is an essential component of combustion, not phlogiston as proposed by the theory. Lavoisier's precise measurements and meticulous approach to experimental evidence played a crucial role in discrediting the phlogiston theory and establishing the foundation for modern chemistry.

What is the Alfred Weber's Theory of Industrial Location?

Alfred Weber's Theory of Industrial Location, also known as the Least Cost Theory, suggests that the location of industries is determined by minimizing transportation costs and maximizing profits. According to this theory, industries will locate where they can minimize the costs of transporting raw materials to the factory and finished products to the market. Weber classified industries into three categories based on their location factors: weight-gaining, weight-losing, and bulk-reducing.


Who is the scientist that proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of Species in 1859, in which he outlined his theories of evolution. The theory of natural selection states that individual variation in a population allows some members a greater chance of survival than others.Darwin and Wallace, but Wallace didn't publish.


How do you find flaws in a diamond?

To find flaws in a diamond, you can use a jeweler's loupe or a microscope to examine the stone closely. Look for inclusions (internal flaws) or blemishes (external flaws) that may affect the diamond's clarity and overall quality. A certified gemologist can also perform a thorough inspection to identify and assess any flaws present in the diamond.


What scientist whose ideas about evolution were the same as Darwins?

Alfred Russel Wallace independently developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, which was very similar to Charles Darwin's ideas. Wallace and Darwin jointly published a scientific paper on the subject in 1858.


What helps gem cutter remove flaws from diamonds and rubys?

Gem cutters cut flaws out of stones using diamond cutting tools, so that the finished diamond gem stone has no flaws. Or, a diamond is cut so that the flaws are the least visible. Note that diamonds can be treated, but not necessarily to hide flaws: treated diamonds change colours and the clarity is usually not affected. Rubies, however, are generally treated to hide flaws. Read more about treating rubies, below.
