Question 2 • W Geography_A_IC

Which of the following is an example of shifting cultivation?

Answer
A
hunting and gathering
B
crop rotation
C
slash-and-burn farming
D
planting a vegetable garden

Explanation

Shifting cultivation involves clearing land for farming, often by cutting and burning vegetation, then moving to a new plot when the soil becomes less fertile. This is slash-and-burn farming, so the correct answer is C. Crop rotation changes which crops are grown in a field but does not require shifting to a new plot.
