Which flowchart represents the slash and burn process?
Impacts of Slash and burn agriculture
Pollution, easy to do, no need for herbicides/fertilisers
Labor intensive, employment opportunities for locals, can re-use land after a while
Destruction of biome, have to move regularly, produces low yields - only enough to feed the family
All above
pollution, low yields, destruction of habitat/biomes, labour intensive and having to move regularly are the negative effects of
Rain Shadow
Slash and Burn
Fire-stick farming
Irrigated agriculture and damming
The shading on a Choropleth map indicates density of the data with:
the lighter shades representing lower values
the darker shades representing lower values
According to the Choropleth map:
The largest palm oil plantations are in Indonesia and Nigeria
The smallest palm oil plantations are in Indonesia and Nigeria
The largest palm oil plantations are in the Philippines and Madagascar
The smallest palm oil plantations at in the Philippines and Madagascar
Latitude is
how far east or west of the Prime Meridian
how mountain ranges influence rainfall
how the higher a location is above sea level
how far north or south of the equator
Warm water promote rainfall. As a result high levels of rainfall occur on or near the equator
True
False
Due to the angle that the sun hits the earth: the further north/south of the equator the colder the temperature
True
False
