OCN 105 EXAM 3 (LATEST) QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
There was an area within the Fertile Crescent where most of the technological
advancements occurred called the Garden Square. Answer - False
Truth: There is an area in the northern region of the Fertile Crescent were most
of the technological advancements occurred called the Golden Triangle. It
contains Gobekli Tepe.
Why is Gobekli Tepe so important? Answer - It may provide a connection to
the development of written language, show collaboration between different
HFG groups as a communal ritual site, and its artwork features the human form
rather than just animals. It was NOT the first structure built by humans (it was
the first PERMANENT structure built by humans.)
Sedentism, or staying in one place rather than moving with the seasons, was
the result of the development of agriculture. Answer - False
Truth: Sedentism resulted from the changes in climate that made access to wild
food more reliable.
The Natufians: Answer - were egalitarian hunter-gatherers, developed the first
sedentary society, lived in the Levant region, lived in 13,000 - 10,500 years ago
in the mesolithic. They didn't die out unexpectedly.
Studies of mouse molars from wild versus house mice revealed that: Answer -
Hunter-gatherers alternated between nomadic and sedentary lifestyles for
thousands of years before settling into agriculture.
What is the correct sequence of events? Answer - Hunter-gatherer, sedentism,
farming
, What is allowed for sedentary behavior? Answer - Dependable access to wild
game and plants, a warmer, more stable climate.
The Inter Tropical Convergence Zone is a band of rainfall in the tropics that is
located farther south in the northern hemisphere summer than in the winter
and is responsible for summer monsoons in India. Answer - True
The transition to sedentism led to more community or tribe oriented societies
with less social hierarchy. Answer - False
Truth: Transition led to the departure from community or tribe oriented
societies with more emphasis on the importance of their family living in the
structure that they built. This led to class system and private property.
Paleoenvironmental records from Mesoamerican lake sediment cores show
that: Answer - Precipitation increased bewteen 12,000 and 9,000 years ago;
Forbs dominated until 9.000 years ago.
What contributed to sedentary behavior in Mesoamerica? Answer - Large,
migratory herd animals disappeared.
The benefits of farming were so abundant and apparent that the HFGs
switched to farming immediately when the technology was developed. Answer
- False
What was the paradox of farming/food production? Answer - Farming
communities were less well nourished than HFGs because human population
densities rose slightly more steeply than did the availability of food.
Which statement is false?
