Answer 2

Climate, land relief, soil and vegetation are the main factors which influence agricultural activity.

Climate

The growth of plants depends on the temperature and humidity of the land and the amount of light it receives.

We can't practice agriculture in areas with extreme temperatures

below 0ºC

above 45ºC

We also cant grow plants in areas of severe drought.

Land relief

Farmers prefer to cultivate crops on flat land

plains

valley bottoms

It is harder to cultivate in mountainous areas:

machines can't be used for soil preparation or harvest

terraces must be cut into the hillside

low temperatures prevent cultivation in high altitudes

Livestock farming and forestry adapt better to mountainous terrain.

The relief will also affect the available water resources.

Soil

The soil is the result of the decomposition of bedrock. Soils are made up of a series of layers called horizons.

Soil provides the nutrients necessary for plants to grow.
