Earth's Resources: Forests and the Land

Question 6 • Grade 8 World Cultures and Geography A

Which statement describes the most likely effect for a country with a large population and a small amount of arable land?

Answer
A
It produces more food than can be used.
B
It struggles to produce enough food to support its population.
C
It exports most of its food to other countries.
D
It pays less for food than countries with more arable land do.

Explanation

Arable land is land suitable for growing crops. A country with many people but little arable land has limited space to produce food, making it difficult to grow enough to meet the population’s needs. Therefore, the most likely effect is that it struggles to produce enough food to support its population.
