A typical grocery store in the United States may sell oranges grown primarily in California during part of the year and oranges grown primarily in South Africa during a different part of the year. Which of the following explains why oranges are available year-round in the United States?

Back

Grocery stores sell oranges that are grown in locations with similar climates but different growing seasons.

Front

Which of the following best explains the significance of a similarity among locations where olives, figs, grapes and lemons are grown? Plantation agriculture is practiced in a tropical wet climate. Intensive agriculture is practiced in a humid subtropical climate. Extensive agriculture is practiced in a tropical wet and dry climate. Intensive agriculture is practiced in a Mediterranean climate.

Back

Intensive agriculture is practiced in a Mediterranean climate.

Front

Which of the following best explains the significance of similarities between the farming practices for apple orchards and grape vineyards?

Back

Both farming practices require considerable labor input because the fruit is picked by hand, making it a product of intensive agriculture.

Front

Agricultural settlement patterns are partly determined by the survey system used to organize landownership. Which of the following best describes the survey methods used to delineate agricultural land and the associated settlement patterns shown in the two images? The first image shows a long-lot survey method with a linear settlement pattern, and the second image shows a metes-and-bounds survey method with a dispersed settlement pattern.

Back

The first image shows a long-lot survey method with a linear settlement pattern, and the second image shows a metes-and-bounds survey method with a dispersed settlement pattern.

Front

Which of the following best describes the settlement patterns shown in the images? The long-lot system results in population clustered along a waterway, whereas the metes-and-bounds system results in a random, dispersed population pattern.

Back

The long-lot system results in population clustered along a waterway, whereas the metes-and-bounds system results in a random, dispersed population pattern.

Front

Which of the following best describes the survey system used in both locations shown? Long lot: nucleated linear settlements with all of the houses arranged along a road or river, Circular rural settlements: a ring of houses that surround a central open space for keeping livestock, Township and range: unit-block field patterns with dispersed farmsteads and occasional villages, Fragmented: land-holdings that allow each farmer a variety of fields dispersed through the community.

Front

Which of the following correctly explains the relationship between wheat and its early hearth of domestication? Wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia because of a favorable climate and a great diversity of wild grains that led to crossbreeding of seeds.

Back

Wheat was first domesticated in Mesopotamia due to favorable climate and diverse wild grains.

Front

Which of the following scenarios best explains the Columbian Exchange? Domesticated animals such as cattle, horses, pigs, and chickens were introduced to the Americas by European colonizers. Prior to this, very few animals had been domesticated in the Americas.

Back

Domesticated animals such as cattle, horses, pigs, and chickens were introduced to the Americas by European colonizers.

Front

Which of the following explains the prevalence of banana plantations in Central America?

Back

Banana plants were brought to Central America from Southeast Asia to be grown closer to markets in the United States and Canada.

Front

The images shown illustrate the differences in scale of production for two methods of producing thread. Which of the following best describes advances in the production of textiles during the Second Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution?

Back

The conversion from manual thread spinning to an industrial processing approach led to increased demand for raw cotton in the agricultural sector.
