I. AGRICULTURAL REGIONS AND CLIMATE
1. a. Geographer _________________________________ (1936) created an agricultural map of the
world that is still widely used today. His map contained 11 agricultural zones:
- 5 are found among developing countries: - 6 are found among developed countries:
pastoral nomadism mixed crop & livestock
shifting cultivation dairy
intensive subsistence, wet rice dominant grain
intensive subsistence, wet rice not dominant livestock ranching
plantation Mediterranean
commercial gardening
c. While there is a correlation between the agricultural map and a world map of ________________
regions, differences in ______________________________ and __________________________
also explain agricultural differences in areas of similar climate. (Viewing climate as the sole
factor in what a region cultivates would be an example of _______________________________,
which most geographers reject.)
2. In Figures 9-13 & 9-14, do the agricultural regions match the climate regions more closely in the
developed regions developing regions? Why do you think this might be the case?
