The Von Thunen model of agricultural land use was created by Von Thunen himself in 1826 in a book called “The Isolated State.” Being a farmer, he developed this model into an analytical tool that could be manipulated to explain rural-land use patterns. His sole intention was to analyze the distribution of different types of agricultural activities across the landscape.

The Von Thunen Model describes an urban rural setup with the following limiting assumptions

1. That the city is centrally located within an isolated state that has no external influences and is self-sufficient.

2. That an unoccupied wilderness surrounds the isolated state.

3. That the state's land is completely flat and there are no mountains or rivers to interrupt the terrain.

4. That the climate and soil quality are consistent throughout the entire state.

5. That the farmers in the isolated state will transport their goods to the market through oxcart, across the land, and is directly to the center of the city. Thus, there are no roads.

The Four Rings

1. First ring - the ring that is closest to the city and is dedicated to market gardening intensive dairy farming  

2. Second ring – Dedicated to the production and harvest of forest products for building materials and fuel

3. Third ring - includes extensive field crops like grains for bread

4. Fourth or final ring  - Livestock and ranching

Why doesn’t the sun blow itself up?
statuscvo [17]

An explosion occurs when the timescale for the energy release by some process is much shorter than the timescale on which a system can adjust to damp the energy release process. In the present day Sun, nuclear fusion is a very slow process: on average it takes many billion years for a proton to fuse with another. This timescale is quite temperature dependent, so you might have thought the centre of the Sun might heat up quickly, leading to a runaway "explosion". However, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure that would expand the Sun, reducing the core density and temperature and decreasing the rate of nuclear fusion again. The timescale for the Sun to react in this way is just millions of years, so this acts like a thermostat that keeps the reactions under control.

Which scandinavian country has the highest overall elevation
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Norway

Explanation:

Officially there are three countries that compose Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Occasionally, Finland, Iceland, Faeroe Islands, and Aaland Islands are included, but that is only for local usage.

Out of the three countries, the one that has the biggest elevation is Norway, with Sweden coming as second, and Denmark having the lowest elevation. Norway's average elevation is 460 m. Sweden's average elevation is 320 m. Denmark's average elevation is only 34 m, making it the fifth joint lowest country in the world.

Norway has the highest elevation out of the three because the around half of the country is dominated by mountains, while Sweden also has mountains, it is mostly dominated by lowlands, and Denmark is entirely very low, lacking a single mountain or even a higher hill on its territory.
