<span>Gypsum originated 200 million years ago as a result of marine deposits when part of what are now our continents were immense oceanic extensions. During this period some seas were dried leaving plaster beds that were covered to be discovered later by man. Since the time of memory plaster has coexisted with humanity and constitutes one of the oldest building materials.</span>

Which elevation zone on the image above is best suited to raising livestock? A. Tierra Fria B. Tierra Templada C. Tierra Nevada

Setler [38]

The correct answer is A. Tierra Fria.

Tierra Fria is composed of highlands, but even though it is very high area, because of the low latitude and high altitude, this area has a very pleasant climate which is actually pretty similar to the oceanic coastal regions of the temperate climates. Because of this, it is very suitable for the livestock, since the weather conditions are very nice, the grass is green for most of the year and it is in abundance, plus the region is clean, and also lacks predators.

Region B is the North American continent which includes the United States. Land here is quite fertile and resources are plentiful as the continent boasts of vast farmlands, timber and an abundance of coal.

The people of this continent therefore need not import a lot of things. They do however have to import oil. Even though there are rich oil deposits present, these are sometimes quite expensive to extract which is why the region needs to import some of the oil that its people need.
