What are the process involved in shifting cultivation

History

Answer:

Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system in which a person uses a piece of land, only to abandon or alter the initial use a short time later. This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming until the soil loses fertility.

First, farmers have to find a designated spot where they want to plant, somewhere that is close to their villages or settlements. Before they can plant, they have to remove the plants and vegetation that normally covers the land. Using axes and machetes, farmers cut down most of the tall trees, which normally help bring down the smaller tress.  Next the farmers burn the debris under carefully controlled conditions. Whenever it rains, the rain comes and washes the fresh ashes into the soil, providing the needed nutrients. The cleared area, is known as a swidden.  The cleared land can support crops only up to three years or less. After those three years, the soil nutrients are rapidly depleted and the land becomes too infertile to nourish crops. When the swidden is no longer fertile, the villagers and farmers find a new site to begin clearing out. They leave the old site uncropped for many years, allowing it to go back to its normal vegetation state, this could take up to twenty years

What if there had been no Ancient Greek Civilization how would history be
Charra [1.4K]

If there had been no Ancient Greek civilization we'd be behind in literature, art, technology, science and much more. The Greek gave the world new ideas and an individual right in self government. The world right now would probably be in the 1619 A.D not 2019 A.D.

in your own words, explain how the social structure of society shifted during the Renaissance period.​
Nana76 [90]

Answer: During the Renaissance, the social structure had been reshaped with the abandonment of the feudal system. The feudal system was the combination of the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs that flourished in Medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries. Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor. So in getting rid of the feudal system it paved a new way for peasants and slaves.

Explanation: I hope all of this helps you out :) You've got this!

What were settlers in roanoke looking for?
guapka [62]

Answer:

The Roanoke Colonies were an ambitious attempt by England's Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a permanent North American settlement with the purpose of harassing Spanish shipping, mining for gold and silver, discovering a passage to the Pacific Ocean, and Christianizing the Indians.

When he arrived at Roanoke Island in 1590 he found “CROATOAN” carved on a post and “cro” on a tree. He found no distress marks. They literally made a sign. It was expected the colonists would go with their friends, the Croatoans and tribe member, Manteo, Dawson
