1. The correct answer is: Commercial agriculture produces crops and livestock for sale.
To understand the difference between subsistence and commercial agriculture, it is important to consider their primary purpose. Subsistence agriculture is focused on producing enough food to meet the needs of the farmer and their family. This type of agriculture typically involves smaller plots of land and utilizes traditional farming practices. The surplus produced is generally minimal.
On the other hand, commercial agriculture aims to produce crops and livestock for sale in the market. It is geared towards making a profit and typically involves larger farms, advanced technology, and the use of modern agricultural practices. The surplus produced is much larger than in subsistence agriculture, as it is intended for trade and distribution.
2. The correct answer is: Quaternary economic activities are most likely to be located in urban areas.
Quaternary economic activities refer to those that involve knowledge-based services, such as research and development, consulting, information technology, and education. These activities require access to a skilled workforce, infrastructure, and resources that are commonly found in urban areas. Urban centers tend to offer a concentration of educational institutions and research facilities, making them ideal locations for quaternary economic activities.
3. The correct answer is: True
Manufacturing and trade tend to be located along coastal regions around the world. This is primarily due to the advantages offered by coastal areas, such as access to transportation routes (including ports and waterways) for importing and exporting goods. Coastal regions often have a long history of trade and maritime activities, which has led to the development of manufacturing centers near these coastal areas. Additionally, proximity to coastal regions allows for easier access to raw materials and markets, making it economically beneficial for manufacturing and trade to be located in these areas.
