Question 42

Study Figure 1, an aerial photograph of a large forestry products and paper processing plant in British Columbia, Canada.

An aerial photograph of a large, modern forestry and paper processing factory situated on the edge of a deep-water coastal fjord. In the background, steep, towering mountains are covered in dense coniferous forests. Adjacent to the factory structures are vast log ponds and outdoor storage yards stacked with cut timber. A marine terminal/jetty extends into the deep water where a large bulk carrier ship is docked. A railway spur line is visible connecting the rear of the processing facility to the main transport network.

Suggest one factor that has influenced the location of this processing plant.
