Question 5 • 22-23 LA-World Geography A - CR

Which of the following statements about von Thunen’s theory of human settlement is true?

Answer
A
Hardy field crops were located closest to the city.
B
The city served as the epicenter.
C
Perishable items were grown farther away from the city.
D
Climate and soil quality varied throughout the land area surrounding the city.

Explanation

In von Thünen’s model, a central city is the market and serves as the epicenter of the surrounding agricultural land. Perishable products and other goods with high transportation costs are produced closer to the city, so C is not true. The model also assumes uniform climate and soil, making D false.
