Unit 5 Part II (AP HUG) Quiz

What was the main goal of the Second Agricultural Revolution?

• To develop bioengineering techniques

• To increase food supplies and support population growth

• To create genetically modified organisms

• To reduce the dependency on rainfall for irrigation

What is the Enclosure Acts related to?

• A technique of planting different crops

• A series of laws for land enclosure

• A process of breeding plants

• A theory related to land value and distance

What does crop rotation aim to achieve?

• To control the amount of water supplied to crops

• To restore nutrients back into the soil

• To change the DNA of a seed

• To produce a single seed with desirable characteristics

What is the primary purpose of irrigation in agriculture?

• To change the DNA of crops

• To restore nutrients in the soil

• To apply controlled amounts of water to crops

• To breed plants with desirable characteristics

What does the Green Revolution refer to?

• The use of genetically modified organisms in agriculture

• The development of hybrid seeds

• The revolution in the 20th century that improved global farming methods

• The theory of land value related to its proximity to urban markets

What is hybridization in the context of agriculture?

• The process of applying controlled amounts of water to crops

• The process of changing the DNA of a seed

• The process of breeding plants to produce a single seed with desirable characteristics

• The technique of planting different crops in a sequence

What is the main purpose of genetically modifying organisms (GMOs)?

• To restore nutrients to the soil

• To produce plants that are not dependent on rainfall

• To change the DNA of a seed for an agricultural benefit

• To create a distance-decay relationship between land and urban markets

What does the bid-rent theory suggest?

• The closer the land is to an urban area, the more valuable it is

• The use of expensive machinery in farming increases the value of land

• Intensive labor in farming decreases the value of land

• The DNA of crops affects the value of the land

What characterizes a capital intensive type of farming?

• It requires intensive labor to produce large amounts of fruits and vegetables

• It uses expensive machinery and other inputs in its production

• It relies on the breeding of plants to produce desirable seeds

• It aims to restore nutrients back into the soil

What is a defining feature of labor intensive farming?

• It uses genetic modification to improve crop yields

• It involves controlled irrigation systems

• It requires intensive labor to produce large amounts of fruits and vegetables

• It is based on the bid-rent theory of land value
