Question

Very short answer type question:
Why do people who rear animals move from place to place?

Answer 1

Hint: Transhumance is a form of pastoralism or nomadism centered on livestock movement between mountain pastures during the summer and lower altitudes the rest of the year.

Complete answer:
Pastoralism or nomadism, transhumance is the seasonal movement of cattle between fixed summer and winter pastures. It refers to movement between higher pastures in the summer and lower valleys in the winter in mountainous areas (vertical transhumance).

Herders have a permanent residence, which is usually in a valley. Only the herds and a small number of individuals are required to accompany them, while the rest of the population remains at the base. Horizontal transhumance, on the other hand, is more vulnerable to climatic, economic, or political change.

Traditional or fixed transhumance has occurred all over the world, but especially in Europe and Western Asia. It's important to pastoralist societies because transhumance flocks and herds' dairy products (milk, butter, yoghurt, and cheese) can make up a large part of their diet.

Higher summer pastures have words in many languages, and these words are commonly used as place names: for example, hafod in Wales and shieling in Scotland, or alp in German-speaking areas of Switzerland. People who are rare animals move from place to place in search of new pastures according to the changes in seasons.

Note: Transhumance is derived from the Latin words trans 'across' and humus 'ground.' Every inhabited continent has created transhumance. The underlying procedures for taking advantage of remote seasonal pastures are similar, despite significant cultural and technological differences.
