Question		Answer
Oblique rays start learning		Rays of sunlight that hit the Earth's surface at an angle, which can affect temperature and weather patterns.
Vertical rays start learning		Rays of sunlight that hit the Earth's surface directly overhead, which can result in intense heat and stronger UV radiation.
Intertropical Convergence Zone start learning		A region near the equator where trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres meet, resulting in warm, moist air and high levels of rainfall.
Trade winds start learning		Prevailing winds that blow from east to west in the tropics, which play an important role in global climate patterns and ocean currents.
Savanna start learning		A tropical grassland ecosystem characterized by scattered trees and a seasonal climate with a long dry season and a shorter rainy season.
Biodiversity start learning		The variety of life on Earth, including the number of different species, genetic diversity within species, and the variety of ecosystems.
Diurnal climate start learning		Climate patterns that vary over the course of a day, typically with higher temperatures during the day and cooler temperatures at night.
Nutrient cycle start learning		The process by which nutrients are taken up by plants, used for growth and metabolism, and returned to the soil through decomposition and other processes.
Shifting cultivation start learning		A traditional farming practice where farmers clear a small area of land, grow crops for a few years, and then move on to a new area once the soil becomes less fertile.
Slash and burn start learning		A farming practice where vegetation is cut down and burned to clear land for agriculture, which can lead to deforestation and soil degradation.
Agribusiness start learning		A large-scale, commercial approach to agriculture that involves the use of modern technology and practices to increase efficiency and yield.
Deforestation start learning		The clearing of forests for agricultural or commercial purposes, which can have negative impacts on biodiversity, climate, and soil fertility.
Agroforestry start learning		A farming practice that involves integrating trees and crops to create sustainable and diverse ecosystems.
Monoculture start learning		The practice of growing a single crop on a large scale, which can increase efficiency but can also lead to soil degradation and decreased biodiversity.
Sustainability start learning		The ability to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Arable farming start learning		The cultivation of crops on land that is suitable for farming.
Cash crops start learning		Crops grown for their commercial value rather than for subsistence
Subsistence farming start learning		Farming practiced to grow crops to feed the farmer and their family, rather than for commercial purposes.
Desertification start learning		The process by which fertile land becomes desert due to climate change, deforestation, overgrazing, and other factors.
Salinisation start learning		The buildup of salt in soil, which can lead to decreased soil fertility and reduced crop yields.
Irrigation start learning		The process of providing water to crops to support their growth and development.
Overgrazing start learning		Grazing livestock on land beyond its carrying capacity, which can lead to soil erosion and loss of plant species.
Soil fertility start learning		The ability of soil to support plant growth and development, impacted by factors such as climate, soil type, and human activities.
