Use the map of agriculture in China to answer the question.
Why is agricultural production in China distributed in this way?
A. Much of western China is covered by dense rain forests.
B. Much of western China is mountainous and has a desert climate.
C. The Huang He frequently floods, destroying farmland in western China.
D. The Gobi Desert covers western China, making it incapable of supporting farms.
B. Much of western China is mountainous and has a desert climate.
This is likely why agricultural production is not as heavily concentrated in western China compared to eastern China, where the land is more suitable for farming due to flatter terrain and more arable land. The mountainous and desert climate of western China make it more challenging to farm in these areas.
