Climate and relief affect farmers greatly. If the climate is too extreme (too hot, cold, wet, dry) then things will not grow. Farmers need a moderate climate, where there is balance of warmth, sunshine hours and rainfall – but not too much of one thing.
Most farmers also need flat land to farm. Imagine trying to grow corn on a steep hill! Or trying to get cows down to milk from a mountain twice a day!!
Describe your pattern…
New Zealand’s dairy farming is _______________ in __________ where there is a mild ________ and _________ relief, where as dairy farming is __________ in the __________ Island where the climate is quite _____________ and there is _________ relief.

Earthquakes occur as tectonic plates move. It is believed that the earth’s crust is broken into parts called tectonic plates. These plates float on top of the boiling hot magma below the crust. As these plates move, they create earthquakes. The plate boundaries (where two plates meet) are where the plate movement is experienced.
Describe your pattern…
Earthquakes follow a __________ pattern along the ___________ ______ _____________ whereas the further _______ from the plate boundaries, the fewer the number of ____________.
