Slash-and-Burn Examples- Method of clearing space for a field by cutting and burning trees, grasses, and brush. Effects- The soil is exhausted of its nutrients, and farmers soon have to move on to a new area of land.

Terraced Farming Examples- The cutting of step-like horizontal fields into hillsides and slopes. Effects- Reduces soil erosion and makes hill slopes into farm area.

Push Factors Examples- Factors that push people to leave rural areas. Such as poor medication, poor education, low paying jobs, ownership of land by a few rich people Effects- Rapidly growing cities.
