Natural Factors
Relief and Topography
Topography significantly influences agricultural practices. A strong correlation exists between land use and relief. Altitude affects temperature and humidity. Only 11% of Spain’s surface is below 200 meters; much of the plateau’s high elevation increases continentality, impacting agriculture. Slopes and elevations affect soil stability, tillage, erosion, water movement, and mechanization. Rocky terrain, soil origin,

The Impact of the Second Industrial Revolution on Society
Second Industrial Revolution. Since 1870, all the advances enabled by multiplying machinery and production meant that companies would need large capital to finance new production systems that allow more expensive but cheaper manufacturing processes that control markets. All that money must come from the bank, which will participate in the industry. No fee in cash, but in shares, finding in the end, with banks, business owners.
