Question

Give reasons.
Rise of the wool industry in the Velds.

Answer 1

Hint: In Southern Africa, the veld is a broad open rural landscape covered in grass or low scrub. Only a few places have trees - frost, fire, and grazing animals cause the grass to grow but prevent trees from growing.

Complete answer:
Wool is the textile fibre made from sheep and other species, such as goats' cashmere and mohair, muskoxen's qiviut, bison's hide, and fur clothing, rabbits' angora, and camelids' other forms of wool. The wool textile industry was one of the first industries to establish and adapt mechanical processes and was thus one of the first industries to develop the factory system of production.

Any industrial performance is determined by the local climate and its characteristics, which are advantageous to that particular industry. Similarly, the Velds' wool industry thrives due to the local climate. Velds is a Southern American agricultural landform with a lot of natural grassland vegetation. And this grassland is ideal for raising wool-producing animals, primarily sheep, which are needed for wool production.

Sheep rearing is one of the most important occupations for the people of Velds. Merino sheep, a unique breed of sheep, are also found there. Merino wool is known for its warmth. Farmers in Velds raise sheep wool and sell it to the textile industry, resulting in the rise of the Velds wool industry.

Note: Veld is a term used to describe different forms of open land used for pasturage and farming in Southern Africa. Today, most South African farmers use the term "veld" to describe the land they operate, much of which has long since lost its "normal" status.
