Sustainable Biomes Lesson 8: Agricultural Yields I

What factors contribute to agricultural yields?

• Temperature, topography, precipitation

• Temperature, sea levels, rainfall

• Topography, sea levels, soil quality

• Topography, soil quality, astrology

What is photosynthesis?

• The process by which plants use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water

• The process of merging photos in-camera

• The process of animals extracting energy from the sun and soil

During photosynthesis, what do plants release into the air?

• Carbon dioxide

• Carbon Monoxide

• Water

• Oxygen

Which is not a source of water for crops?

• Lakes

• Streams

• Oceans

• Underground water

What is the driest inhabited continent on Earth?

• Antarctica

• Australia

• Africa

• Egypt

Which does NOT influence how much water a crop needs?

• Climate

• Oxygen levels

• The age of the crop

• The type of crop

Which statement is true about different biome soils?

• Nutrients in desert soil is constantly recycled

• Rainforest soil is shallow and low in nutrients

• Temperate soils are ideal for agriculture

• High temperatures in Tundra biomes rapidly breakdown the organic material

Topography is important for crop yields because

• It affects the climate and soil quality

• It affects the salinity and water quality

• It affects climate and water quality

• It affects soil quality and air quality
