Which of the following best explains an environmental concern that results from irrigation in arid regions? Options: The high use of water for agriculture increases the price of water for people in urban areas. The soil will have increased salinity, leading to soil erosion and reduced nutrients in the soil for plant health. The increased production that results from irrigation of the crop will lead to decreases in crop prices as the total crop harvested will be higher. The plants grown in this dry region will start to adapt to use less water, but the period to maturity will increase. The decisions about how much water each landowner can use may become more difficult and a cause of conflict between urban and rural people.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

The images show examples of agricultural technology developed during different time periods. Which of the following statements is best supported by the images?

Back

Image 2 shows an innovation that occurred in the Second Agricultural Revolution, reducing the amount of labor needed and increasing crop yields.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which of the following correctly compares the significance of the different technologies shown in the images? Options: Invention of the plow eased the intensive use of labor, and the innovation of mechanized farm equipment led to improved food production. Invention of the plow enabled an increase in production during the Green Revolution while protecting the environment and reducing pollution from mechanized farm equipment. The mechanized farm equipment shown in image 2 is solely responsible for the improved yields of the Green Revolution over yields produced by the draft animal and plow shown in image 1. The method used to tend the crop in image 2 is more labor intensive than the method used to tend the crop in image 1.

Back

Invention of the plow eased the intensive use of labor, and the innovation of mechanized farm equipment led to improved food production.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Which of the following best explains the spatial patterns illustrated in von Thünen’s model? Options: The cost-to-distance ratio of the land-rent curve indicates that the highest-cost land is in large-scale plots on the outermost ring of the model. The cost-of-labor inputs are related to a crop's distance from the market, as more labor-intensive farming is done in large-scale plots far from the market town. Highly perishable agricultural goods are produced in small-scale plots far from the market town, so that they can be more quickly traded with other communities. Labor-intensive farming of vegetables is done in small-scale plots in market gardens, while extensive grain crops are grown in large-scale fields far from the market town.

Back

Labor-intensive farming of vegetables is done in small-scale plots in market gardens, while extensive grain crops are grown in large-scale fields far from the market town.
