What causes the Subsistence farmers of Latin America to use Slash and Burn Agriculture?
What caused the Inca to create Terraces?
What caused the Aztec to create Chinampas?
Answer:
The slash and burn agriculture is used because of lack of development and bad treatement of the soil.
The Incan terraces were created so that the steep slopes can be used for agriculture.
The Aztec chinampas were created to maximize production by using the surface of the water as a basis because of the huge demand and limited resources.
Explanation:
In multiple parts of Latin America, the people use slash and burn techniques for agriculture. This technique consists of cutting down and burning the vegetation in order to open up space for agriculture. This is done in countries that are not well developed, so nature is not taken into consideration, nor the agricultural land is treated properly so it quickly becomes useless.
The Incas were people with big ingenuity, and this was also seen in their agricultural practices. They predominantly lived in high mountainous areas with very steep slopes, but that didn't stop. In order to make use of the terrain and satisfy the demand for food, the Incas carved the steep slopes horizontally and made terraces, on which they were able to produce a lot of food.
The Aztecs lived in an area that had a very high population density, so the demand for food was very big, but the land and fertile soil were limited. In order to solve the problem, they came up with the chinampas. The chinampas were basically made up of floating gardens, small and easy, filled with fertile soil, and having access to water all the time because they were on the surface of a lake. The production levels were very high with this technique.
In the past the inhabitants of dry lands learned to respond flexibly to climate variations. Explain how they did this in two sentences.
Answer:
In dry lands, there is a very small amount of precipitation compared to other climates, so inhabitants of dry lands in the past needed to conserve water. They did so by watering their crops with irrigation ditches, as well as constructing their homes out of adobe (clay) instead of wood.

Scientists found many different types of fossils in a rock layer, which was dated 251-299 million years old using an index fossil. In layers directly above that point, scientists found a large decrease in the number of fossils, particularly of marine and insect fossils. When did the extinction event occur?
Answer:
The extinction event occurred at the end of the Permian and the beginning of the Triassic, 251-250 million years ago.
Explanation:
The period that is described shortly, lasting from around 299 to 251 million years ago, was the Permian. This is a period in which life thrived on Earth, with big diversification among many different animal and plant groups. During this period, there has been an abundance of synapsids, anapsids, and diapsids, marine animals, large insects, etc., and numerous different types of plants dominating the landscape.
This all came to an end between 251-250 million years ago when the biggest mass extinction in the geological history of Earth happened, which is why it is referred to as the Great Dying. The estimates are that around 70% of the terrestrial species went extinct, and around 81% of the marine species. What is very interesting and unexpected is that the biggest losses were in the species of insects, despite being animals that tend to be the toughest and most resilient. There are several theories about what caused this mass extinction, and it is most likely a combination of a supervolcano eruption that trigger volcanoes around the world to erupt as well, and probably a collision with a space body.

What affected the development of ancient India the most
Answer:
The development of ancient India was most affected by its isolation and natural protection.
Explanation:
India gave rise one of the first civilizations in the world. Not just that, but this was a civilization that was highly advanced for its time and unlike the other civilizations of its time it doesn't seem to have had any military orientation or confrontation with other people groups. To put it simple, this civilization developed in relative safety and peace.
The fact that India has the biggest land natural barrier in the world protecting it and isolating it from the rest of Asia, meant that the people had little to fear when it came to invasions and conquests. Having such a huge burden off their minds, the people were able to focus on other more productive matters, so they managed to get involved and achieve great success in numerous scientific fields, managing to become a highly advanced civilization with relativey equality and peace among its citizens and rullers.

Disadvantages and advantages of canal irrigation
Answer:
Explanation:
Canal irrigation is when water is being passed through canals from rivers, streams, reservoirs etc to the farm.
The advantages of canal irrigation are:
1. The loss of water is reduced.
2. Water logging can easily be controlled.
3. The benefit can be enjoyed for a long time as it is a permanent structure.
4. A smooth surface is done which lead to an increase in the flow velocity.
The disadvantages include:
1. The cost involved in setting up the canal system is high.
2. A lot of time is required before its completion.
3. A lot of difficulties are experienced when it malfunctions or damages.

Answer:When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault. The transform fault boundaries connect spreading centers and subduction zones, which are the other elements of the jigsaw puzzle of the Earth’s plates.

Which are reasons why so many people live on the ring of fire?
Check all that apply.
A. Many tourists are drawn to the beauty created by the volcanic islands and mountains near the ocean.
B. The tsunami prediction industry created jobs, causing many people to move to areas where they are needed.
C. There has been considerable development of the earthquake and volcano prediction industry.
D. Subduction zones are often located in good places for seaports
Answer:
Subduction zones are often located in good places for seaports.
Explanation:
The Ring of Fire is located on the edges of the Pacific Ocean. It lies near subduction zones, thus near convergent plate boundaries where plates go below other plates, triggering the formation of volcanic island arcs. This is also tectonically the most active area in the world, with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes being regular occurrences, and every now and then there are devastating tsunamis as well.
Despite these circumstances, there a lot of people living on the Ring of Fire. In fact, there is a high density of populations living in it, with Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, all being good examples for it. The reasons why people live there though are because the subduction zones, almost always, tend to create places that are excellent for seaports, thus trade. Also, the soil tends to be of very high quality because of the volcanic ash, so people are able to produce goods on a large-scale without any expenses for fertilizers, and in many cases chemicals as well.
