Physical Geography Review

One way farmers in arid climate zones have adapted to the environment include

• using rain forest for lumber

• using desalinization plants

• planting drought resistant crops

• terrace farming

Terrace farming is an adaptation to

• energy demands

• natural disasters

• climate variations

• physical geography

The amazon rain forest is located in the tropical climate region which indicated what

• it is near the equator

• mid latitudes

• by the poles

• near the Atlantic ocean

El Nino is

• associated with a band of WARM ocean water that develops in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific, including the area off the Pacific coast of South America

• associated with a band of COLD ocean water that develops in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific, including the area off the Pacific coast of South America
