zmey [24]3 years ago

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

On a map with a scale of 1:126,720, a measured distance of 1 inch represents what distance in feet?
GrogVix [38]
126,720 feet.
Why?: For each inch on a map, it’s equal to 126,720 feet in reality. All maps are not drawn to scale, so we make them smaller and add a scale to ressemble what distances are necessary.

Hope this helps.

The image shows sedimentary rock layers with index fossils and a fault.
svetlana [45]

The correct answer is - Layer 2 and layer 9 are the same relative age.

On this image we can see multiple layers that have been cut through and displaced by a fault. The layer 2 and the layer 9 despite not being at the same level, with level 2 being closer to the surface, while layer 9 deeper into the ground, we can still see signs that they actually have the same relative age.

We can notice that these two layers have the same relative age because of two things. The first thing is the index fossils, with both of these layers having the same fossils from the same geologic period. The second thing that gives us a clue is their composition which is pretty much identical, thus indicating of a same geological period.
