    Urbanisation does have several advantages which includes:  (Select one)

    • It relieves the population pressure on farmland.

    • It has a birth increase effect.

    Correct Answer
    A. It relieves the population pressure on farmland.
    Explanation
    Urbanisation relieves the population pressure on farmland by attracting people to cities and reducing the demand for agricultural land. As more people move to urban areas, the need for agricultural land decreases, allowing for more efficient use of existing farmland. This can help to preserve natural habitats and promote sustainable farming practices. Additionally, urbanisation can lead to the development of infrastructure and services in cities, improving the quality of life for residents.

    Ecology is the study of the interactions, interdependence and relationships in only living things on earth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Ecology is not only the study of interactions, interdependence, and relationships in living things, but also includes the study of their interactions with the environment. This includes the study of abiotic factors such as climate, soil, and water. Therefore, the statement that ecology is the study of interactions, interdependence, and relationships in only living things on earth is incorrect.

    Many economic structures depend on man made resources.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that many economic structures depend on man-made resources. However, this is not entirely true. While man-made resources certainly play a significant role in economic structures, there are also natural resources that are essential for economic activities. These natural resources include land, water, minerals, and energy sources, which are crucial for various industries and sectors. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that economic structures solely depend on man-made resources.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Deforestation takes place in certain parts of the world.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is not complete and does not provide enough information to determine if it is true or false. Deforestation can occur in various parts of the world due to different factors such as agricultural expansion, logging, or urbanization. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that deforestation only takes place in certain parts of the world.
