Question 1

Mining the resource

Answer 1

exploiting a renewable resource in an unsustainable way

Question 20

farming definition

Answer 20

Soil is the renewable resource on which farming relies. While a relatively small part of Canada’s land is used for commercial agriculture, it is a vitally important resource for supplying food to Canadians and for export.

Question 21

commercial fishing definition

Answer 21

Commercial fishing is locally important in Atlantic Canada, British Columbia, parts of Québec, and some inland lakes. Fishing is important as a source of food and a source of income, there are commercial fisheries all around the world.

Question 22

forestry definition

Answer 22

Trees are obviously the renewable resource used in forestry. A wide swath across Canada is covered with forests and is used for forestry.

Forests are important in most countries for producing lumber, paper, and firewood, but only a few large countries are major exporters of forest products.

Question 23

forestry Resource(s) needed

Answer 23

A climate and soils that are appropriate for the type of trees are required. Existing forests provide seeds for new generations of trees. Forestry can be thought of as a form of agriculture that has a growing season many years long.

Question 24

farming Resource(s) needed

Answer 24

A suitable climate (temperature measured in number of growing degree-days; sufficient precipitation) and deep, fertile soils are required.

Question 25

commercial fishing Resource(s) needed

Answer 25

Naturally occurring fish stocks are required.

Question 26

commercial fishing Problems:

Answer 26

Fish stocks are too often mined. Orange roughy, Chilean sea bass, and Atlantic Canada’s cod are just a few examples of fish that have been harvested unsustainably. Pollution of the ocean can reduce the numbers of fish and make the fish dangerous to eat.

Question 27

farming Problems:

Answer 27

Soil deterioration is a very important, but rarely discussed, problem. Bad farming practices can result in soil being eroded into rivers or fertility being washed out of the soil. Most cities are built on land that is well suited for farming, so urban growth reduces the amount of farmland available.

Question 28

forestry Problems:

Answer 28

Poor forestry practices can result in scrub bush replacing a

high-quality forest. Soil erosion can be a serious concern in hilly areas.

Question 29

Land class downgrading factors (7)

Answer 29

climate limitations, such as low GDDs, Low total precipitation, or low in the growing season precipitation

Soil damaged by erosion

Stony soil

Shallow soil (less than 1 metre pf soil above bedrock)

Poor soil quality

Land that is too hilly

Excess water in the soil

Question 30

What does CLI stand for?

Answer 30

Canada Land Inventory

Question 31

If a land area has 1100 of these what are they?

Answer 31

GDD Growing – Degrees – Days

Question 32

When did the CLI come into effect?

Answer 32

1960’s

Question 33

How many people are involved in Farming?

Answer 33

315 000

Question 34

Which fishery accounts for 10% of total catch?

Answer 34
