Question 7 • World Geography Studies

The Sami people, who live in the Arctic, fish only the cod their community needs to survive. What is this an example of?

Answer
A
ethnicity
B
exploitation
C
subsistence
D
conservation

Explanation

Subsistence means using natural resources to meet basic needs rather than to produce goods for sale or profit. The Sami fish only enough cod for their community to survive, so this is an example of subsistence. Conservation means protecting resources, which may be related to sustainable fishing but is not the main idea described here.
