sage you are such an amazing person. I hope you have nothing but good fortune and happiness for the rest of your life. I would kiss you if I could.
To answer these questions, it is important to have knowledge about the topics related to agriculture, its history, and practices. Let's go through each question and its explanation:
1) The phenomenon of sheep being found in places like North America, despite originating in the Central Asian agricultural hearth, is best explained by:
- Diffusion: This refers to the spread of cultural traits, ideas, or innovations from one place to another. In the case of sheep, they were likely introduced to North America through the process of diffusion, where people brought them from their place of origin to a new location.
2) Cotton, potatoes, and alpaca are agricultural products originating from which hearth?
- Latin America: These agricultural products have their origins in Latin America. Cotton was first cultivated by the indigenous people of Peru and Mexico, potatoes were domesticated in the Andean region of South America, and alpaca was domesticated in the Andes.
3) Globally, the largest percentage of people is engaged in which agricultural practice?
- Intensive subsistence: Intensive subsistence agriculture refers to a form of agriculture where a high amount of human labor is applied to cultivate small plots of land to meet the food needs of the farmer's family. This practice is common in densely populated regions like South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, where the majority of the world's population resides.
4) The emergence of commercial agriculture was made possible by:
- The development of irrigation techniques: Commercial agriculture refers to the large-scale production of crops or livestock for sale in markets. The development of irrigation techniques allowed farmers to control the water supply to their crops, increasing agricultural productivity and enabling the growth of surplus production for trade.
5) The effects seen in North America after 1900 as a result of agricultural changes in developed countries were:
- Fewer but larger farms became common: With advancements in technology and mechanization, agricultural practices became more efficient, leading to the consolidation of smaller farms into larger operations. This trend is commonly referred to as agricultural consolidation or agribusiness.
6) The main positive outcome of the Green Revolution can be summarized as:
- Agricultural improvements of the Green Revolution provided sufficient food for the population of the twentieth century: The Green Revolution, which took place in the mid-20th century, introduced advanced agricultural technologies, hybrid seeds, and chemical fertilizers, leading to increased crop yields and food production. This resulted in addressing food shortages and sustaining the growing global population.
7) The main crops planted in intensive subsistence farming in tropical areas are:
- Rice, corn, millet, and sorghum: Intensive subsistence farming in tropical areas often relies on the cultivation of staple crops like rice, corn, millet, and sorghum. These crops can be grown in diverse climatic conditions and provide a significant portion of the dietary needs for the local population.
8) Clearing forest for crops, creating terraces for wet rice, and using irrigation are examples of:
- Human alteration of the natural environment for food production: These practices involve modifying the natural environment to make it suitable for agricultural activities. Clearing forests for crops involves deforestation, creating terraces modifies the landscape for rice cultivation, and irrigation involves manipulating water sources for agricultural purposes.
These explanations provide an understanding of the concepts and processes related to the questions. However, it is important to delve deeper into these topics for a more comprehensive understanding.
