Problem:
Which of the following statements concerning Easter Island or the Easter Islanders' impact on their island ecosystem is FALSE? Group of answer choices Charcoal deposits suggest that Easter Islanders engaged in widespread slash and burn agriculture that reduced their forests. Because Easter Island was formed by an oceanic hotspot, it had very rich volcanic soils that could support abundant vegetation. Easter Islanders altered the island's ecology by bringing a variety of domestic crops to the island, along with chickens. Easter Island has relatively few fresh water sources, like lakes or springs, and has generally unreliable seasonal rains. Easter Islanders extensively used rock enclosures and rock mulch gardening to reduce moisture loss from crops due to wind.
