Study Notes
Environmental Consequences
- Changes to the natural environment can lead to a loss of biodiversity.
- Threats to food security do not include increased access to fresh water.
- Changes to soil can be influenced by deforestation.
- Wearing out soil commonly results in reduced crop yields.
- Climate change can directly impact food security through extreme weather events.
- One major consequence of rising global temperatures is sea level rise.
- Land use for purposes other than agriculture can impact food security by reducing arable land.
- Sustainable agricultural production relies on effective land management practices.
- Climate change affecting ecosystems is indicated by changes in plant and animal distributions.
- Climate change can affect agricultural production by altering growing seasons and increasing pest and disease outbreaks.
Principles of Government
- Separation of powers is the principle ensuring no single branch of government has too much power.
- Equality before the law ensures that laws are applied equally to everyone.
- Due process of law is specifically tied to fairness in judicial processes.
- Checks and balances is primarily associated with legislative mechanisms and distribution of function among government branches.
- Limited government is not a principle of democratic governance.
Biomes and Environmental Factors
- Boreal forests are characterized by long, cold winters and short summers.
- Population density is not directly related to food production.
- Tropical rainforests usually have the warmest climate.
- Irrigation positively impacts food production by providing water to crops in dry areas.
- Fertilizers primarily impact agriculture by increasing soil nutrient levels.
- Overgrazing can negatively affect food productivity.
- Biodiversity is critical for sustaining healthy forest ecosystems.
- Climate conditions play a role in food production by determining growing seasons, precipitation, and temperature.
