Mapping Project Reflection

a) How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?


All of those things affect the way in which people settle. They wouldn't want to settle in for example rocky areas because thos would not make for a very good farmland. Same with climate and elevation. If the climate is too hot or too cold, too humid or too dry, it would yet again create inappropriate conditions for farming. And highlands can't support too much either.






    
b) What conclusions can you draw?
    
(Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)


The people would want to settle in places where survival would be the least challenging. Especially as I have mentioned in the previous part of this post, land that can support agriculture is very important. Also, they would look for stable sources of fresh water. Even today you can see that many major cities are built along major rivers. This was to provide water to the settlers.
