Question 7
7.
All of the following describe the "Green Revolution"
except
Introduced new farming practices
Introduced new technology
Only used in the developing countries
Increased food production drastically
Question 8
8.
Mechanization includes
Using horses and mules to plow fields to be more efficient
Using hand tools to work in agricultural fields to use less fossil fuels
Applying chemicals sprayed on crops in order to kill organisms that do harm to crops
Using machines to increase profits and efficiency but also use of fossil fuels
Question 9
9.
Irrigation includes
Applying chemicals sprayed on fields in order to give them the nutrients that they need to grow
Applying controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals to grow agricultural crops
Applying chemicals sprayed on crops in order to kill organisms that do harm to crops
Inserted new genetic material into the DNA of crops in order to help them fight diseases
Question 10
10.
Pesiticides include
Chemicals sprayed on crops in order to kill organisms that do harm to crops
Chemicals inserted into the DNA of crops in order to help them fight diseases
Chemicals inserted into the DNA of crops in order to help them grow
Chemicals sprayed on fields in order to give them the nutrients that they need to grow
Question 11
11.
Fertilizer use increased during the Green Revolution because
Humans increased the amount of food they grew and needed protection from pests
Humans decreased the amount of food because they couldn't protect the crops from diseases
Humans decreased the amount of food they grew and needed a more reliable source of food
Humans increased the amount of food they grew and overused the nutrients in soil
Question 12
12.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) include
All organisms on Earth
A plant, animal, microorganism, or other organism that humans have selectively bred to withstand certain diseases or problems
A plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology
No organisms on Earth have ever been genetically modified

spray that can potentially kill pests
Question 18
18.
What is left after fertilizer application?
overturned soil
liquid or pellets of concentrated nutrients
spray that can potentially kill pests
ash and remains of fire
Question 19
19.
What is the purpose of tilling?
removing existing vegetation and providing a layer of nutrients to start new growing
turning the soil to control for weeds and pests and to prepare for seeding
replacing the essential nutrients for plant growth to the soil after they have been depleted
controling weeds, insect infestation and diseases of plants
Question 20
20.
What is the purpose of slash-and-burn farming?
removing existing vegetation and providing a layer of nutrients to start new growing
controling weeds, insect infestation and diseases of plants
turning the soil to control for weeds and pests and to prepare for seeding
replacing the essential nutrients for plant growth to the soil after they have been depleted
Question 21
21.
What is the purpose of fertilizer use?
turning the soil to control for weeds and pests and to prepare for seeding
removing existing vegetation and providing a layer of nutrients to start new growing
replacing the essential nutrients for plant growth to the soil after they have been depleted
controling weeds, insect infestation and diseases of plants
