Adaption and Modification The 5 Themes of Geography: Human Environment Interaction

Adaptation When humans make changes to better adapt to the environment Examples Clothing Housing Food

Adaptation - Earthquakes Japan is a country made up of several volcanic islands and experience earthquakes on a regular basis Japan does not have a large land mass and must build up instead of out https://www.youtube.com/wat ch?v=tF204Pgf-eo https://www.youtube.com/wat ch?v=iZoHoPFHAtw

Adaptation to Flooding/Hurricanes

Adaptation – Air Conditioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD7vSnISp3g

Adaptation – Drought Resistant Crops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHHyXiHBXyc

Modification Modification is when humans drastically change the environment Examples: Irrigation Dams Desalination Coal mining Oil extraction

Modification: Irrigation Irrigation is the artificial application of water to land to assist in the production of crops Takes water from rivers and lakes Many places have started to use drip irrigation because it uses much less water

Modification: Hydroelectric Dams Dams modify the environment by creating large reservoirs

Modification: Deforestation Deforestation in the cutting down of trees in forests on a massive scale Deforestation is a major problem in the Amazon Rainforest because of Slash and Burn techniques

Modification: Coal Mining Extracting coal from the ground

Modification: Oil Extracting Oil from the ground/ ocean floor.
