Sample Questions

Question 1
The Green Revolution of the mid-20th century primarily involved:
A global shift from meat-based to plant-based diets
Development of high-yielding crop varieties, increased irrigation, and synthetic fertilizer use that dramatically raised food production
International agreements to protect tropical rainforests from agricultural expansion
Organic farming methods that eliminated the need for pesticides
Question 2
Monoculture farming poses environmental risks primarily because:
It requires more land than polyculture for the same yield
Genetic uniformity increases vulnerability to pests, diseases, and climate variability
Monocultures cannot be harvested by mechanized equipment
Single crops deplete soil carbon faster than no-till methods
Question 3
Contour plowing reduces soil erosion by:
Plowing in the same direction as slope to channel runoff quickly off the field
Plowing across (perpendicular to) the slope so furrows act as barriers that slow water flow
Deep plowing that buries topsoil below the erosion-prone surface layer
Using mechanized equipment to minimize soil disturbance during planting
Question 4
The primary cause of hypoxic dead zones in coastal marine ecosystems is:
Thermal pollution from power plant cooling water
Nutrient runoff (nitrogen and phosphorus) from agriculture that causes algal blooms and oxygen depletion
Plastic debris that blocks sunlight and prevents photosynthesis
Overfishing that removes organisms that would otherwise oxygenate the water
Question 5
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is defined as an approach that:
Eliminates all pesticide use in favor of biological control agents exclusively
Combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical controls to manage pests with minimal environmental impact
Relies on genetically modified crops that are resistant to all common pests
Applies pesticides on a fixed calendar schedule regardless of actual pest populations
