Match each statement with the correct agricultural revolution.

Genetically modified organisms were introduced.
Caused humans to shift away from being hunter-gatherers and settle down in one place.
Irrigation was introduced which helped food production.
Crop rotation was introduced which helped replenish soil nutrients leading to increased crop production.
Allowed farmers to cultivate crops that are more resistant to drought and disease.
Machines started doing the work at the farm instead of manual labor which resulted in a major increase of food.

First Agricultural Revolution
Second Agricultural Revolution
Green Revolution

Match the positive impact, negative impact and alternative/solutions to the correct global trade practice.

Negative impact: Increased risk of soil depletion and spread of diseases in crops
Alternative/solution: crop rotation and planting a variety of plants
Alternative/solution: utilizing bamboo trees and recycling
Positive impact: mass production of crops
Negative impact: reduces oxygen supply and creates pollution
Positive impact: provides lumber and creates jobs

Deforestation
Plantation farming

Which statements are true about water insecurity? (select all that apply)

Can lead to political disputes over water rights.

Irrigation can help prevent and cause water insecurity.

Overfishing has led to increases in available fresh water.

Water resources are not equally accessible across the world.

There are too many animals in the world today for the amount of water.

Match each term to the correct description.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Sustainable development		a resource that can be replaced once it is used
Specialization		a resource that is hard or can't be replaced once it is used
Renewable resource		rising global temperatures and changing weather patterns
Globalization		finding a way to reach one's needs without harming future generations
Climate change		when a country concentrates on producing a single item and becomes an expert
Nonrenewable resource		the interconnectedness of the world through trade

Which of the following best explains the impact of globalization and specialization on the environment?

Globalization has led to an increase in alternative fuels and less impact on the environment.

Specialization has caused an increase in production and a larger environmental impact.

Environmental impacts have been spread out among many countries so fewer countries are harmed.

Pollution has decreased in countries connected by trade.

When countries experience a natural disaster, they often receive assistance from other countries and international organizations. Why would countries and international organizations be interested in helping after a natural disaster?

Globalization has caused countries to become isolated from one another.

The physical destruction from natural disasters will spread to other countries.

It may help prevent natural disasters in their own countries.

Increased trade and specialization mean that countries’ economies rely on one another.

Match the practice to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Irrigation		the purposeful clearing of forestland
Strip mining		pumping liquid into cracks in the earth to release oil/natural gas
Deforestation		removes surface layer of vegetation, soil, rock, etc. to reach minerals beneath
Fracking		redirecting water for agricultural use

Which countries were most HELPED by the Green Revolution?

Very developed countries

No countries were helped

Less developed countries

Countries with the most resources

Match each practice with the correct impact.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
drought		main cause for the disappearance of the Aral Sea
burning of fossil fuels		changes amount of water downstream, impacting the ecosystem
irrigation		climate change
building of dams		political disputes over water

Why do many environmental problems lead to political conflict between countries? (select all that apply)

Different countries have different views and approaches to these problems

They involve shared resources

They require international cooperation to solve

Governments often argue over who should pay to fix the problems

Only natural disasters lead to political conflict

Environmental problems never lead to political conflict

Both Japan and Haiti experienced earthquakes in the early 2000s. Why was recovery in Japan faster than in Haiti?

Other countries, like the United States, gave more money to Japan than Haiti

Poverty in Japan meant that the country could not effectively respond.

International humanitarian groups refused to help Haiti after the earthquake.

Poverty in Haiti meant that the country was more reliant on international aid for recovery efforts.

Which of the following are potential causes of desertification? (select all that apply)

poor agricultural practices/overgrazing

drought

fracking

overfishing

Why has overfishing become a problem in modern times?

Too many people take up fishing as a hobby, depleting fish populations

Increased international cooperation has led to sustainable fishing practices around the globe.

Increased demand for fish has led to large commercial fishing operations making larger harvests.

Increased supply of fish has led to lower prices and overstocking of fish in markets

According to the map above, which pattern about water insecurity is true?

Developed countries tend to have little water insecurity.

All countries near the equator have plenty of water

Water insecurity tends to exist where there are large populations.

Countries in the far north have less available water.

Match the advantages and disadvantages to different types of responses to environmental issues.

Disadvantage: Very costly for the government and can't always enforce regulations put in place.
Advantage: Can create incentives for businesses to use alternative resources and can start clean-up processes.
Disadvantage: Hard to regulate as there are so many countries involved in the process.
Advantage: More people are working towards a common goal which can create a better response.

Local responses to issues
International responses to issues

Which practice represents a positive step toward sustainable global trade?

Implementing environmental regulations in trade agreements

Increasing fossil fuel consumption

Removing environmental regulations

Focusing solely on economic growth
