Renewable Forests and Woodlands Water
Natural resources What are they? They are resources found in nature that we need every day in order to live. Soil, Rocks, Air, Water, Sunlight. Renewable Forests and Woodlands Water Flow Resources Wind and solar power Non-Renewable Minerals Fossil-Fuels, Coal and Water-soon

First confirmed interaction
Before being what we are now, our ancestor where nomads, walking around and hunting for survival. But when they found out that spraying water on the seeds of the plants, or trees, the same thing would grow. A new man was born, the sedentary. He learned to cultivate, and knew that he could attract animals with food and water. They didn't have to walk anymore. This took place in the Neolithic Age, the transition between the stone age and bronze age The term Neolithic Age is most frequently used in connection with agriculture, which is the time when cereal cultivation and animal domestication was introduced.

Evidence Ghost towns: -Pattonsburg, Missouri, decided to relocate after two floods in 1993 -Craco, a medieval village in the Italian region of Basilicata, was evacuated after a landslide in 1963 Hurricanes: Katrina (Florida, Bahamas, Louisiana, New Orleans & Mississippi) Total property damage was estimated at $108 billion (2005 USD), roughly four times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in ( MAP Drought: Irish Potato Famine (Ireland) The island's population fall by between 20% and 25%. Almost 1million people died and 1 million emigrated. Example

Climate change Cllimate Change is the Climate is usually defined as the "average weather" in a place. It includes patterns of temperature, precipitation (rain or snow), humidity, wind and seasons. Climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them. But the climate we’ve come to expect is not what it used to be, because the past is no longer a reliable predictor of the future. Our climate is rapidly changing with disruptive impacts, and that change is progressing faster than any seen in the last 2,000 years.
