The location of agriculture at all scales is the result of the interaction between physical‚ cultural and economic and behavioural factors. Farming in Great Britain has been characterized by technological changes in recent decades which has led to massive increases in yields and improved stock rearing. Much of this change is due to the application of scientific research in plant and stock breeding and improved mechanization. But even today agriculture relies heavily on the physical environment

Reptiles." The Jurassic lasted for 64 million years‚ from about 208 to 144 million years ago. Climatic Changes: Widespread deposits of sand in western North America indicate that the region experienced a desert climate during the early Jurassic. Coral reefs and the remains of temperate and subtropical forests around the world provide evidence that the climate became moister and milder later in the period. Europe was covered with shallow seas throughout the Jurassic. Vegetation:

For example‚ Arizona is a very dry state‚ consisting of large desert areas that do not receive much rainfall every year. However‚ Rhode Island is located in a temperate zone and receives an average of 44 inches of rain per year. In addition‚ while Arizona is a landlocked state and thus has no seashore‚ Rhode Island lies on the Atlantic Ocean and does have a significant

"biodiversity‚" (bio-di-ver-si-ty) simply means the diversity‚ or variety‚ of plants and animals and other living things in a particular area or region. For instance‚ the species that inhabit Los Angeles are different from those in San Francisco‚ and desert plants and animals have different characteristics and needs than those in the mountains‚ even though some of the same species can be found in all of those areas. Biodiversity also means the number‚ or abundance of different species living within

Most family vacations in America are to other parts of America. Why? Because the U.S.A. takes up a whole continent and we have all the world’s environments in our states. Need beaches? Head to Florida. The tropics? Hawaii. Desert? Arizona. The cold Tundra? Alaska. Temperate forests? Washington. This attitude is best summed up by a response I got from a friend in Iowa: “Why would you want to go to Thailand? It’s far and scary. If you want beaches‚ just go to Florida.” Americans simply don’t see the

The need for growing more food‚ on a sustainable basis‚ to support the ever-increasing population demands a systematic appraisal of our natural resources including climate‚ soils‚ flora‚ and fauna. Since agriculture is highly location-specific‚ grouping the available land area in the country into different agro-ecological regions based on certain identifiable characteristics becomes all the more important. This may help the country to engage in more rational planning and optimizing resource use for
