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
Inserted new genetic material into the DNA of crops in order to help them fight diseases
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
Question 10
10.
Pesiticides include
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 crops in order to kill organisms that do harm to crops
Chemicals sprayed on fields in order to give them the nutrients that they need to grow
Question 11

Fertilizer use increased during the Green Revolution because
Humans decreased the amount of food they grew and needed a more reliable source of food
Humans decreased the amount of food because they couldn't protect the crops from diseases
Humans increased the amount of food they grew and overused the nutrients in soil
Humans increased the amount of food they grew and needed protection from pests
