Question

intensive extensive characteristics examples a. requires high amount of inputs including large amount of labor and / or capital d. low capital and labor inputs b. characterized by large plots of land, that’s often cheap and away from population centers. f. practiced mostly in the tropics and in dry lands. c. high yield per acre g. low yield per acre e. doesn’t require as much land use per farmer.

Explanation:

Intensive agriculture focuses on maximizing output from small land areas, so it uses high labor/capital inputs, has high yield per acre, and uses less land per farmer. Extensive agriculture uses large, often remote/cheap plots, low inputs, low yield per acre, and is common in tropics/dry lands.
