4Question 4.
In which condition is AET less than PET?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about whether water is limiting the rate.

Show hintHide hint
Consider how deep the water should go and how often.
Question 6.
Assess how increased temperatures due to climate change can globally affect AET and PET and outline one possible agricultural adaptation strategy.
Show hintHide hint
Think about coping with both rates adjusting.
