Question 2 • OCPS - 2109010 - M/J WORLD HISTORY_SEM 1 CR_PY - vers.2

What was the benefit of using fertilizer during the Neolithic era?

Answer
A
Farmers needed to dispose of farm-animal waste to keep water supplies clean.
B
Fertilizer made the soil capable of growing plants brought from other continents.
C
Adding fertilizer to the soil prevented farmers from having to use slash-and-burn techniques.
D
Soil was made richer for growing plants, and fields could be replanted for many years.

Explanation

Fertilizer adds nutrients to soil, making it more fertile and helping crops grow. This allowed Neolithic farmers to keep planting the same fields for many years instead of moving to new land when the soil was depleted. Therefore, the benefit was that soil was made richer and fields could be replanted for many years.
