  1. Look at your grade. If it is less than a 70 you need to redo/complete the essay: Define and explain the difference between the four outer spheres of the earth (bio, hydro, litho, atmos) I will describe how the physical processes (plate movement, erosion, and weathering) help to shape the earth’s surface.

  2. Adaptation vs Modification Human-Environment Interaction

  3. What is the difference between human adaptation to and human modification of the environment? • Why do you think this adaptation or modification occurs? • What are ways in which we have adapted to our environment? • How do you think this affects human’s settlement decisions? Bellringer 9/6 and 9/9

  4. Human-Environment Interaction comes in many forms… • From everyday use of consumer products • Political agreements over environment resources • Natural hazards • These interactions can take the form of human adapting to or modifying their environment Background Information

  5. Adaptation- A change in human behavior to cope with environmental conditions (Example: different clothing due to climate) Modification- Humans have actually changed some part of the physical environment (Example: building a dam) Can you think of some other examples of adaptation and modification? Adaptation vs Modification

  6. What is this an example of? What is this an example of? Adaptation vs modification

  7. To survive people depend on the physical environment They adapt to it and modify it to suit their changing needs for things such as food, clothing, water, shelter and energy In meeting their needs, humans bring knowledge and technology to cope with physical systems. Adaptation vs Modification

  8. Humans have altered the balance of nature in ways that have brought economic prosperity to some areas and created environmental dilemmas and crises in others. • clearing land for settlement • mining • agriculture • Altering physical systems can transform human populations, wildlife and vegetation. Physical Environment

  9. Slash and Burn • Terraced Farming • Urbanization • Push factors- to draw or attract people • Pull factors- to cause or force people to leave • Tourism • recreation Agriculture Reshaping the Environment

  10. The Netherlands • Dikes- used to direct or prevent the passage of water • Polders- land that is reclaimed from the sea by drainage and diking • Venice, Italy (transportation by boat, island cities) • Deforestation- cutting down and clearing away of trees • Desertification- an expansion of dry conditions to moist areas that are next to deserts (farming, over-grazing and burning wood for fuel help to speed up process) • Desalinization- to remove salt from ocean water • Dams and irrigation systems Using Land and Water

  11. Human Responses to Natural Disasters and Nature • Hot and cold climates • Tornadoes • Earthquakes • Flooding • Hurricanes and tsunamis • Drought
