how have geographic conditions most impacted South Asia's economic activities
1)Lack of arable land has made farming impossible
2) Difficult terrain has led people to rely on forest resources
3)Inadequate rainfall has encouraged people to develop irrigation methods
4)Seasonal climate changes create unstable working conditions
I think it's b.
It says the land is dry and rocky. Would it be a?
It was b. :[
Great job! The correct answer is indeed option b: Difficult terrain has led people to rely on forest resources. Now, let's go through the other options together so you can understand why they are not the correct answers:
Option a: Lack of arable land has made farming impossible. While South Asia does face challenges related to arable land in certain regions, it is not accurate to say that farming is completely impossible due to this factor. In fact, agriculture is still a significant economic activity in South Asia, albeit with some limitations.
Option c: Inadequate rainfall has encouraged people to develop irrigation methods. This option is partially correct. South Asia does face challenges related to inadequate rainfall in some regions, which has indeed encouraged the development of irrigation methods. However, it is not the most impactful factor when it comes to economic activities in the region.
Option d: Seasonal climate changes create unstable working conditions. This option is also partially correct. Seasonal climate changes can indeed create some instability in working conditions, especially in sectors such as agriculture that are highly dependent on weather conditions. However, it is not the most impactful factor in shaping economic activities in South Asia.
Therefore, option b remains the most accurate and impactful factor in terms of how geographic conditions have influenced South Asia's economic activities.
Nope. What does your text say?
It depends on what is considered "South Asia". Much of the land is dry and rocky in southwest Asia, what we sometimes call the Middle East, and some of the "-stan" nations. Other areas have monsoons, such as the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, so are not dry at all. Farming is not impossible in any of those areas that are near rivers which are used for irrigation or rely on the monsoons for moisture.
So, I think both of your guesses are wrong. Do not post this question again.
