The people in a location in florida mainly grow crops which need a lot of water. which of these statements about the location best explains why the farmers grow crops which need a lot of water? it is near the oceanit has excess runoffit receives heavy precipitation it has a high rate of evaporation

it has a high rate of evaporation

Soil water retention or holding capacity is dependent on the texture of the soil and the amount of organic matter present in the soil. Soil that holds more moisture can retain more amount of inorganic nutrients. The soil with low water holding capacity is likely to reach the saturation point than the soil with more water holding capacity. Also, the soil exhibiting the high concentration of the silt and clay is likely to have better water holding capacity. The soils with more water holding capacity is likely to have low rate of the evaporation when the soil is exposed to the heat.

According to the given situation, this can be concluded that the crops requires more water, because the soil may exhibit very low water holding capacity. It has a high rate of evaporation.

good for her? ? where is the question?

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
