Question

Arrange the following agricultural regions from equator to pole:
(A) Commercial grain farming in the Prairies
(B) Reindeer rearing by the Eskimos
(C) Tea plantations of north-east India
(D) Primitive subsistence farming in Indonesia

• A. (C), (D), (A), (B)
• B. (D), (C), (A), (B)
• C. (D), (C), (B), (A)
• D. (C), (D), (B), (A)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct order from the equator to the pole would be: - Primitive subsistence farming in Indonesia (near the equator), - Tea plantations of north-east India, - Commercial grain farming in the Prairies, - Reindeer rearing by the Eskimos (closer to the poles).
The correct option is (B): (D), (C), (A), (B)

Answer 2

To arrange the agricultural regions from the equator to the pole, we need to consider their geographical locations and climate:

• (D) Primitive subsistence farming in Indonesia: Indonesia is located near the equator, where tropical climates support subsistence farming, often characterized by the cultivation of crops like rice using traditional methods.
• (C) Tea plantations of north-east India: North-east India is located just north of the equator and experiences a subtropical climate. Tea plantations are found here, typically at higher elevations.
• (A) Commercial grain farming in the Prairies: The Prairies (in Canada and the USA) are located in the temperate zone, further from the equator. This region is known for its vast commercial grain farming, particularly wheat.
• (B) Reindeer rearing by the Eskimos: The Eskimos (or Inuit) live in the Arctic region, which is farthest from the equator, where the climate is cold and reindeer herding is practiced.

Thus, the correct order from the equator to the pole is: (D) Primitive subsistence farming in Indonesia, (C) Tea plantations of north-east India, (A) Commercial grain farming in the Prairies, and (B) Reindeer rearing by the Eskimos.

So, the correct answer is (B): (D), (C), (A), (B).
