Why is there enormous pressure on agricultural land?
1. The 'Right of inheritance' has lead to division of land among successive generations rendering the size of the land holding uneconomical. 2. The farmers continue to maximize output from the limited agricultural land which puts a large amount of pressure on the land and soil to produce more than it is naturally capable of. 2a. Fertilizers and pesticides are reducing the organic matter layer and consequently reducing both soil fertility, quality and carbon content to the point that it may not produce the desired amount of nutrient for plants to survive, let alone thrive on if something is not done soon to prevent such a thing from occurring--often referred to as desertification. 3. The development and expansion (otherwise known as "urban sprawl") of towns, cities, suburbs and sub-divisions reduce the amount of agricultural land available to grow crops and raise livestock on. Farmers are either pushed off their land with the pressure of impeding urbanization or bribed off their land with the potential buyer telling them they could get a lot more for selling their land than they could ever make using it to produce food for hundreds of thousands of people.
How do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing is increasingor decreasing in elevation?
Index contours are thicker and usually labeled with their elevation. By identifying the index contours on a topographic map, you can determine if the land is increasing or decreasing in elevation. If the index contours are closer together, the land is steep, indicating a rapid change in elevation. Conversely, if the index contours are further apart, the land is gradually increasing or decreasing in elevation.
Is primitive subsistence farming soil friendly?
Generally such activity need not negatively impact soil, but you can have subsistence for large numbers, and such agriculture could indeed have a negative impact on sols if proper management practices are not applied. That would be the case even for small activities. You can't grow nutrition-intensive crops on the same ground forever, even if it is supporting just one family. You either need to let it lie fallow, fertilize it, or some other enhancement. And lying fallow may not always be an option for subsistence.

How many feet is above sea level?
Technically, "sea level" would be zero feet. Sea level is defined as being level with the sea's surface.So let's say men build a sand dune 3 feet high along a beach with the beach being level with the ocean (at zero). That dune would be 3 feet above sea level. Let's say wind piles another 2 feet of sand onto the dunes-- the top would be 5 feet above sea level. Let's say you drive 40 miles inland and you encounter a hill that slopes upward 20 feet before it crests. At the top, you are 20 feet above sea level.The important thing to remember about sea level is it is always about something else in geography. It's about an elevation of land, hill, or mountain. It can be about a river set far inland-- the sea level is based on the elevation of land at the level of the river but as 'sea level'. So the land on which the river sits might be 500 feet above sea level, with higher land surrounding the river.It is NOT about how high the sea level is because sea level is always the surface level. But geographical features can be above--or below--sea level. As another answer states, New Orleans is below sea level in that area. But the mountains in the State of Georgia are higher than sea level-- as is the land between New Orleans and the mountains in Georgia.
Why do some farmers let land fallow?
Because it is good for the health of the soil.
Why did the mideval farmers let a field fallow?
Medieval farmers let a field fallow to allow the soil to replenish its nutrients naturally. By leaving the field uncultivated for a season, it helps prevent soil exhaustion and improves crop yields in the future. This practice also helps control weeds and pests.
What is the plantation process when you work the land once and then you work another piece of land and let the first one relax?
That is the practice of crop rotation or allowing the land to lie fallow.
Did the north had plantations?
No the North didn't have plantations. The main reason for plantations was the crops grown pulled minerals from the soil so they need a lot of land to rotate the crops and let some fields lie fallow. The northern colonies had less land available for this method and cash crops was the main reason for the system in the north compared to the south.
What word is A field not cultivated?
