4. Place: Human Characteristics
These buildings are human characteristics because they are results of humans trying to change the environment. These buildings would not be here if it were not for the actions of humans.

5. Place: Physical Characteristics
These mountains are physical characteristics because they are natural and not man-made.

6. Humans Adapt to the Environment
When people wear coats and other winter clothes, they are dressing to keep themselves warm from the cold. Thus, they are adapting to the environment.

7. Humans Modify the Environment
This is an example of humans modifying the environment because to create Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the mountain was drilled and “sculpted” and had extensive changes made to it.

8. Humans Depend on the Environment
Humans depend on the environment for food. Without the environment, humans would not have plants or animals to eat because they also depend on the environment to live.

9. Movement of People
An example of the movement of people is the Pilgrims coming to America in One reason they moved from England to the New World was for religious freedom.

10. Movement of Goods
An example of the movement of goods is how Dole transports fruit from South and Central America to the United States. Goods are usually moved because some countries have products that other countries don’t, so moving goods contributes to trade.

11. Movement of Ideas
An example of the movement of ideas is the Nightly News because it relays information from around the world, telling people in America about the goings-on in anywhere from Haiti to China.

12. Uniform Region
New York is a uniform region because its borders are specifically defined and decided by the government.

13. Functional Region
An example of a functional region is a newspaper delivery area. This is a functional region because it depends on the function of delivering newspapers. If the newspapers were not delivered, than the boundaries to the region would not exist.
