12) WHY is TERRACE FARMING so important in the ANDES MOUNTAINS?

14) DEFORESTATION (Unit 6 Review)

17) SLASH & BURN AGRICULTURE Slash (cut down all vegetation) Dry Burn Plant Crops

18) SLASH & BURN AGRICULTURE + Inexpensive Gets rid of unwanted vegetation quickly In the SHORT TERM, it releases nutrients into soil – helps things grow - Releases Air Pollution and Carbon into Atmosphere Fewer Trees = Less Oxygen Reduced Biodiversity Causes Land to Lose its Fertility Land only farmed for 2-3 years

19) SLASH & BURN AGRICULTURE Deforestation Potential Loss of Medicines Soil Erosion Cycle of Poverty Decreased Species Habitat
