Effects of Agricultural Development — Quiz

Question 8 • World Geography

How can a tsunami in Japan affect agriculture?

Answer
A
It can increase construction-supply companies’ profits.
B
It can cause many people to lose agricultural jobs.
C
It can make the soil more fertile and nutrient rich.

Explanation

A tsunami can flood or cover farmland with seawater, debris, and sediment, destroying crops and damaging fields. Farms may need to stop operating, so agricultural workers can lose their jobs. The effect on construction companies in choice A is indirect, and seawater generally harms farmland rather than making soil more fertile as choice C suggests.
