Name 2 types of technology that can be used to increase food production.
●Precision Farming: Precision farming uses GPS technology, sensors, and data analysis to optimise planting, fertilisation, and irrigation. Farmers can apply the right amount of water and nutrients where needed, reducing waste and improving crop yields.
●Genetically Modified (GM) Crops & Crop Breeding: Advancements in genetic modification and selective breeding have led to wheat varieties that are more resistant to drought, pests, and diseases. Drought-resistant wheat is particularly valuable in Australia, where unpredictable rainfall can threaten yields.
●Automated Irrigation Systems: Smart irrigation technology, including drip irrigation and moisture sensors, ensures crops receive the right amount of water without waste. In dry regions like central-west NSW, automated irrigation helps farmers conserve water while maintaining production.
●Drones & Remote Sensing: Drones and satellite imagery provide real-time data on crop health, soil conditions, and pest outbreaks. Farmers can quickly identify problem areas and take action before yield losses occur. This is particularly useful in large-scale wheat farms, where manually inspecting fields is impractical.
●Mechanisation & Robotics: Modern wheat farming relies on advanced machinery such as combine harvesters, automated seeders, and robotic weeders. These technologies reduce labour costs, increase efficiency, and ensure consistent crop management. In Australia, large-scale wheat production depends heavily on mechanisation to meet global demand.
What is the Minecraft creature in which a baby zombie or skeleton rides a chicken known as?
Chicken Jockey
What biome am I? I have short growing seasons and people classify me as a treeless plain. I am extremely cold and I sit just below the arctic.
The Tundra
What is the name of the famous tennis tournament held annually in England?
Wimbledon Open.
What is the name of the fictional country in Black Panther?
Wakanda.
Explain orographic rainfall.
When moist air hits a land mass (mountain) and is forced to rise. As it goes up, the air gets colder. As it gets colder, the moisture turns into clouds and rain. This is why the side of the mountain facing the wind (the windward side) gets lots of rain.
What’s the name of the dog featured in the “Doge” meme?
Kabosu
I have neither excessively hot or cold temperatures. My area is becoming smaller due to population growth. Winter can drop below freezing and summer can get to 40 degrees. What biome am I?
Temperate Forest.
What color is the jersey awarded to the winner of the Tour de France?
Yellow.
What is the name of the two politicians running for Prime Minister?
Peter Dutton and Anthony Albanese.
Explain the impact climate change would have on wheat production in Australia. Consider how farmers would respond.
Hotter and drier weather with more extreme weather events such as drought and floods. As soil becomes drier and access to water is lessened, the ability to produce crops sustainably diminishes. As a result, wheat production would decline. To respond, farmers would need to implement more sustainable practices including the use of modern technologies. These could include, genetically modified wheat varieties, and automated irrigation as some examples.
In the Skibidi Toilet meme, who is the enemy that causes chaos and disrupts the fun?
The Camera Men.
Give 2 reasons why Australia is the hottest and driest inhabited continent in the world. There are 3 reasons so any 2 would work.
1. It is dominated by high pressure systems for most of the year (these are characterised by stable, dry weather)
2. It is mostly a flat continent except for the Great Dividing Range positioned close to the east coast preventing moisture penetrating inland due to orographic rainfall.
3. Cold ocean currents off the south west coast These currents cool the air. Cold air carries much less moisture (due partly to reduced evaporation) resulting in little moisture moving on to the continent from the south west.
In golf, what is the term for a score of one stroke under par?
Birdie
What was the name of the Australian rock band that became famous in the 1980s with songs like “Never Tear Us Apart”?
INXS
Nam the 5 key aspects of agricultural suitability.
Refers to how suitable a piece of land is for farming or growing crops. It takes into account several factors that affect the productivity and success of agriculture in that area, including:
1.Soil Quality: The type of soil, its fertility, and its ability to retain moisture for plant growth.
2.Climate: Temperature, rainfall, and seasonal patterns that affect crop growth. Some crops require specific weather conditions.
3.Topography: The shape of the land, such as whether it’s flat or hilly, which influences water drainage and ease of farming.
4.Water Availability: Access to reliable sources of water for irrigation or rainfall.
5.Pests and Diseases: Areas prone to certain pests or diseases may be less suitable for certain crops.

Baby Gronk.
What is the name of Australia's most prevalent tropical rainforest? Where is it located?
Daintree rainforest located in far North-East Queensland.
What is the distance of a marathon?
A marathon is 42.195 kilometres (or 26.219 miles) long.
