How We Use Land Section 14.1 Objectives: 1.Distinguish between urban and rural land. 2.Describe ways humans use land.

Land Use and Land Cover Land cover describes what you find on a patch of land: forest, field of grain, parking lot, etc. Land cover can determine how the land is used.

Primary Land-Use Categories in U.S. Land Cover Type Human Use of Land

Table 1, p Make a Table with 2 columns: 1) Land Cover Type and 2) Human Use of Land. 2.List the Land Use Categories (Fig. 1, p.355) in order from highest percentage to lowest in the first column. 3.Use Table 1, p.355, to complete the second column.

Urban vs. Rural Land Urban land: covered mainly with buildings and roads –U.S. Census Bureau defines urban land as having 2500 or more people and a governing body, such as a city council Rural land: large areas of open space; few people

Where We Live Early in our country’s history, most people lived in rural areas. Why? What changed this? Industrial Revolution: –Machines made it possible for fewer people to do the farm work. –Transportation made it possible for manufacturers to be far from customers.

Ecosystem Services: Definition: resources produced by natural and artificial ecosystems –Purification of air and water –Regulation of climate –Maintenance of biodiversity –Movement and cycling of nutrients –Detoxification and decomposition of wastes –Aesthetic beauty –Prevention of flood and drought

ASSIGNMENT Complete the table below: Ecosystem Service How is it Accomplished in Nature? How is it Accomplished Artificially?
