Question 3 • TX-World Geography Studies A

According to von Thunen’s model, which of the following would be produced most profitably on the ring farthest from the epicenter?

Answer
A
wheat
B
sheep
C
timber
D
milk and butter

Explanation

In von Thunen’s model, land farthest from the city is used for activities that need large areas and can tolerate high transportation costs. Livestock grazing, including raising sheep, fits this outer ring. Timber is also bulky to transport but is located closer to the city than the outermost grazing land; wheat and dairy products are produced nearer the market.
