From a historical perspective,
technological revolutions have coincided with population explosions. There have
been three major technological revolutions – the tool-making revolution, the
agriculture revolution, and the industrial revolution – all of which allowed
humans more access to food, resulting in subsequent population explosion. For
example, the use of tools, such as bow and arrow, allowed primitive hunters
greater access to high energy foods (e.g. animal meat). Similarly, the
transition to farming about 10.000 years ago greatly increased the overall food
supply, which was used to support more people. Food production further
increased with the industrial revolution as machinery, fertilizers, herbicides,
and pesticides were used to increase land under cultivation as well as crop
yields. In short, similar to bacteria that multiply in response to increased
food supply, humans have increased their population as soon as food became more
abundant as a result of technological innovations.

a. report the influence of technological
revolutions to population growth(v)

population, and food production

16. It can be inferred from the text that a
population explosion is mostly dependent on…
a. Modernization of machinery
b. Technological innovations
c. Industrial revolution
d. Abundance of food(v)

Surge Irrigation is a variant of furrow irrigation where the
water supply is pulsed on and off in planned time periods (e.g. on for 1 hour
off for 1½ hour). The wetting and drying cycles reduce infiltration rates
resulting in faster advance rates and higher uniformity than continuous flow.
The reduction in infiltration is a result of surface consolidation, filling of
cracks and micro pores and the disintegration of soil particles during rapid
wetting and consequent surface sealing during each drying phase. On those soils where surging is
effective it has been reported to allow completion of the irrigation with a
lower overall water usage and therefore higher efficiency and potentially offer
the ability to practice deficit irrigation. The effectiveness of surge
irrigation is soil type dependent; for example, many clay soils experience a
rapid sealing behavior under continuous flow and therefore surge irrigation
offers little benefit.

There are a wide variety of types of airplanes. For
example, seaplanes, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) space shuttles,land
planes, and carrier-based airplanes; all take advantage of the same basic
technology, but their capabilities and uses make them seem only distantly
related. Carrier-based airplanes are a specially modified type of land plane
designed for takeoff from and landing aboard naval aircraft-carrier. Carrier
airplanes have a strengthened structure, including their landing gear, to
handle the stresses of catapult-assisted takeoff, in which the craft is
launched by a steam-driven catapult; and arrested landings, made by using a
hook attached to the underside of the aircraft's tail to catch one of four
wires strung across the flight deck of the carrier.
