Describe each aspect below in as much detail as possible and describe any impact it has on agriculture at
the time. (So, you are essentially answering, “What was the first agricultural revolution? How did it change
agriculture? Not every topic will have an answer to how did it change agriculture). Use both your green

b. Variations within major zones and the effects on markets
c.
3.
Linkages among regions of food production
Rural land use and settlement patterns
