What best describes the pattern of coffee bean production at the global scale?
What best describes the pattern of coffee bean production at the global scale?
- Within tropical latitudes
- A core and periphery (correct)
- A hierarchical diffusion
- Inside arid climate regions
Which of the following explains the limitations of the map shown for identifying the agricultural production regions of coffee beans?
Which of the following explains the limitations of the map shown for identifying the agricultural production regions of coffee beans?
- The map is thematic, identifying countries by type, instead of a choropleth map that classifies countries by the amount produced.
- The map mainly identifies all land within a country, as opposed to the foothills and upland areas where coffee beans are grown.
- The map uses the descriptors 'major' and 'minor' and should instead use the amount of coffee beans produced per capita of the country’s total population.
- The map does not identify whether the country is a major exporter of coffee beans or whether the country consumes much of what it grows. (correct)

Study Notes
Coffee Bean Production
- The global pattern of coffee bean production shows concentrated production in the tropics, near the equator.
- Coffee beans are not produced in regions with extreme temperatures, high latitudes, or high elevations.
Agricultural Production Regions
- The map shown has limitations in identifying agricultural production regions of coffee beans due to factors like climate, soil, and topography not being considered.
Coffee Bean Production Regions
- Regions near the equator, with mild temperatures and high altitudes, show concentrated areas of coffee bean production.
Wheat Domestication
- Wheat was most probably domesticated earliest in the Fertile Crescent.
Terracing
- Terracing is least likely to be used in flat plains or wetland areas.
Early Hearths of Domestication
- Multiple early hearths of domestication and diffusion of plants and animals arose across the world in different regions due to geographical and cultural factors.
Corn (Maize) Domestication
- Corn (maize) was first domesticated in Mesoamerica.
Ivory Coast Exports
- In 2017, cocoa represented 55 percent of the Ivory Coast's exports.
Agricultural Practices
- Shifting cultivation is an agricultural practice that is declining due to an insufficient supply of open land.
Von Thünen's Agricultural Land-Use Model
- In the model, agricultural products are placed based on their transportation costs and land rent.
- Grain is grown close to the market to minimize transportation costs.
- Firewood and other low-value, bulky products are typically produced farther from the market due to high transportation costs.
- Livestock are raised close to the market to reduce transportation costs and ensure fresh produce.
