Site- notes

Today in human geo we discussed how there are physical characteristics of places such as (climate, water sources, topography, soil, and vegetation), this is called site. The factors of a site where some settle can also depend on their culture. This method of observation was probably often used when people first started to settle in new places. Humans have the ability to modify the characteristics of a site. Some people when they are settling, choose places with a body of water nearby because for some it’s an easy food source. We also talked about how certain foods cannot grow in the environment of the US. For example, bananas, coffee beans, avocados, and a few more. Where you decide to settle usually benefits your living styles in a way. So if you were a farmer you would try to pick a place with good soil and lots of open space for crops. If the climate in the area you chose to grow stuff is always cold and bad weather for ur plants, then it would impact your living situation in a way.
