Takeaways

• 😀 Indonesia's agriculture is influenced by altitude, with 0-700 meters above sea level being suitable for crops like rice, corn, sugarcane, and coconut.
• 🌞 The dry season in Indonesia, from April to October, is caused by the southeast monsoon winds coming from Australia.
• 🦋 Java, Sumatra, and Borneo share similar fauna because they are all part of the Sunda Shelf.
• ⛏️ The main resources in Sumatra and Kalimantan are oil and coal, crucial for Indonesia's economy.
• 🐠 The southern Banda Sea of Sulawesi is known for its rich marine life, especially coral reefs and clear waters, supporting a thriving fishing industry.
• 🌍 Indonesia's coral reefs, especially in Raja Ampat, are among the largest in the world, providing significant ecological and economic value.
• 🐄 Nusa Tenggara Timur is well-suited for livestock farming due to its dry climate and vast grasslands.
• 🌱 Geographical factors greatly impact the economic activities of communities, with highland areas being suitable for vegetable farming.
• 👚 People in mountainous regions of Indonesia wear thicker clothing compared to those in coastal areas due to temperature differences.
• 📉 The global trend of protectionism limits international trade, which can slow down a country's economic growth and development.
• 🌍 The conversion of agricultural land to industrial uses results in decreased agricultural productivity, impacting food supply and economy.

Q & A

What is the correct answer to the question about the appropriate agricultural crops for areas with an altitude of 0 to 700 meters above sea level in Indonesia?

The correct answer is option A: Rice, Corn, Sugarcane, and Coconut. According to Junghun, these crops are suitable for this altitude range.

Why does Indonesia experience the dry season from April to October?

Indonesia experiences the dry season from April to October due to the influence of the East Monsoon wind, which blows from Australia toward Asia, bringing dry air during this period.

What is the main reason that Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan have similar fauna?

Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan have similar fauna because they are part of the Sunda Shelf, which creates a continuity in the ecosystems, resulting in similar flora and fauna across these islands.

What natural resources are abundant in Sumatra and Kalimantan as per the given map?

The correct answer is D: Oil and Coal. Kalimantan is known for its coal resources, and Sumatra has oil fields such as those in Pangkalan Brandan.

Which region of Indonesia is known for having abundant coral reefs?

Raja Ampat, located in the western part of Papua, is known for having the largest coral reefs in Indonesia, with a rich marine biodiversity.

Why is Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) suitable for livestock farming?

NTT has a dry climate, with low rainfall, which is ideal for grazing. The vast grasslands provide sufficient feed for livestock, making it well-suited for animal husbandry.

What activity do people in highland areas typically engage in due to the cooler climate?

People in highland areas often engage in farming activities, particularly growing vegetables, because the cool temperatures are conducive to growing crops like vegetables that thrive in these conditions.

What geographic factor influences the clothing habits of people in mountainous versus coastal regions in Indonesia?

The difference in temperature between mountainous and coastal regions affects clothing. In mountainous areas, the colder climate leads people to wear thicker clothing, whereas in coastal areas with warmer temperatures, lighter clothing is more common.

Which global issue affects international trade by limiting imports and causing economic slowdowns?

The global issue is protectionism, where governments impose tariffs and trade barriers to restrict imports. This leads to slower economic growth and reduced international trade.

What negative impact does converting agricultural land to non-food industry have?

Converting agricultural land to non-food industries leads to reduced productivity of agricultural commodities, such as rice, since the land is no longer used for farming, which can cause scarcity in food supplies.
