Modification People “modify” their environment.
Culture and technology often influence how people modify nature. Why do you think that is?

The Building of Dams People construct dams to: Drain swamps
Prevent floods Store water for drinking and irrigation Generate electric power

Aswan Dam Captures the Nile River in the world’s 3rd largest reservoir, Lake Nasser. Before it was built, the Nile overflowed once a year and deposited nutrient-rich silt on the valley floor, making Egypt’s otherwise dry land fertile. Purpose: flood control, hydroelectric power, irrigation "Aswan High Dam." PBS: Building Big: Wonders of the World. Web. 29 Apr <

Humans modify the environment to provide energy for their needs.
Humans burn coal, whale oil, and forms of petroleum for light, heat, and power.
31
Resources like coal and oil are known as “fossil fuels”
Resources like coal and oil are known as “fossil fuels”. Why do you think that is? Click here to find out cfm These resources can only be used once – then they are gone. These are called “nonrenewable”.
32
How do we get coal and oil to use for energy?
How does this modify the environment? How does culture affect this? How does technology affect this? How did the Gulf Oil Spill modify our environment?
33
Energy Humans also use renewable resources for energy. These can be renewed after a period of time. Trees Wind Sun Does this modify the environment? How does culture affect this? How does technology affect this?

Human-Environment Interaction
How do humans and the environment affect each other? We depend on it. People depend on the Tennessee River for water and transportation. We modify it. People modify our environment by heating and cooling buildings for comfort. We adapt to it. We adapt to the environment by wearing clothing suitable for summer (shorts) and winter (coats), rain and shine.

Activity You get ONE (1) sheet of paper.
Draw a detailed way in which humans affect the environment. Remember, there are positive (+) and negative (-) ways.
