In cases where the phenomenon is not sudden and takes time to operate, in the form of a transition phase or ''' Phase Transition ''', we talk about a '''critical phase''' more than a critical point that would mark a clear threshold. EXAMPLES This process is common in physics (nuclear chain reaction), chemistry, biology, ecology, but also in economics. Many economic processes, from Product Life Cycle s or Economic Development to Stockmarket Bubble s follows also such a succession of phases, first building up pressure, then breaking through. A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE IN ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY / SPATIAL ECONOMICS In some locations, resources and competences amass and develop a Science and High Tech oriented Cluster like the Silicon Valley , or recently Bangalore software center and AMD ´s chip-plants, FAB´s, in Dresden , F.R.
