Question

what role did crop rotation play in the agricultural revolution? it enabled farmers to plant many new types of crops. it allowed farmers to share crops with one another. it introduced new machines to plant and harvest crops. it helped restore nutrients to the soil so crops grew better.

Explanation:

Crop rotation involves changing the type of crop grown in a field over different seasons. Different crops have different nutrient - uptake and - replenishment patterns. For example, legumes (like beans) can fix nitrogen in the soil. By rotating crops, the soil's nutrient balance is maintained or restored. This allows crops to grow better as the soil is not depleted of essential nutrients.

• The first option is incorrect because crop rotation is about the sequence of crops, not enabling new types (new crops could be introduced through other means like exploration).
• The second option is wrong as crop rotation has nothing to do with sharing crops.
• The third option is incorrect since crop rotation is a farming practice related to crop - soil interaction, not machine introduction.

Answer:

It helped restore nutrients to the soil so crops grew better.
