2.- Transport

This is one of the tertiary activities. It refers to the movement of people and goods from one
point to another using a mode of transport and a transport network.

* According to the traveling routes, there are different transports:

- land ( roads and railway)

- water ( seas and oceans, canals and rivers)
- air

* Transport services are very important for the development of a country's economy because
their influence over the trade by connecting territories.
ACTIVITIES
1. Read the following statements and match them with a type of transport (air, water or
ground):
- Large and heavy goods on long -distance trip WATER
- People and goods over short and intermediate distances AIR
- People and valuable goods as well as lightweight goods over long distances
GROUND

* Transports create new landscapes so transport is said to have an impact over territory.
Transport network has an impact over the landscapes too because of the creation of
infrastructure like tunnels, roads, railway, large airports or important bridges. Sometimes these
kind of infrastructures are huge and join high distances or far places with difficult accesibility.
Some of the most important transport infrastructure are (match them with the photos )

- Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

- The Tran-Siberian railway, which is the longest in the world, connects west Russia to
Mongolia and China.
- Eurotunnel, that joins the U.K. and the European continent under the sea through the
English Channel. It is about 50 km.
- Oresund bridge, that joins Denmark and Sweden above the Baltic Sea for 8km.
- In Spain we can go from Madrid to Segovia through the Guadarrama mountains thanks to
28km of rail tunnel.
- In South America we can see the famous "tren de las nubes" which crosses the high
mountain range of Los Andes connecting Chile to Argentina.
- And the longest road in the world is called the Pan-American road that starts in Alaska
and reaches Buenos Aires.
Finally, try to make a short speech about these topics:

- These
What kind of environmental problems can these type of structures cause?

structures, from towering skyscrapers to

extensive transportation networks, can cause
significant environmental problems. Their
construction often involves the alteration of
natural landscapes, causing deforestation,
habitat loss and increased pollution.
Furthermore, transport infrastructure can
fragment ecosystems, affecting biodiversity
and unbalancing wildlife patterns, generating
considerable environmental impacts.
-
- How do transport services influence the development of a country’s
economy?Let's now talk about the essential role
that transportation services play in a country's
economy. Efficient transportation systems are
drivers of economic development. They facilitate
trade, connect markets and stimulate growth by
enabling the efficient flow of goods and
services. In short, a well-developed
transportation infrastructure fuels productivity,
creates jobs and boosts a nation's economic
prosperity.
However, beyond their economic impact,
transportation services shape our quality of life
significantly. Accessibility and efficiency in
transportation are key to improving daily life. A good
public transportation system, well-maintained roads
and diversified mobility options improve mobility,
provide access to education, employment, healthcare
and social activities. They reduce travel times, relieve
congestion and contribute to more sustainable urban
environments, thus raising the quality of life of
communities.

- How do transport services influence the quality of life of individuals?

As we admire the structural wonders around us,

we must approach these challenges with a
balanced perspective. It is essential to develop
infrastructure that meets our social needs
without compromising the environment.
Investing in sustainable practices and innovative
solutions in construction and transportation
allows us to aspire to a future where
development coexists harmoniously with nature,
guaranteeing prosperity and well-being for all.
