Video Learning Notes
People in the United States adapt to their environments by changing how they live to meet basic needs, such as wearing different clothes or building homes suited to the climate. They also modify the environment by changing the land or water, like building dams or roads. These changes can have positive effects, like more food and energy, but also negative effects, like pollution and habitat loss. Understanding these interactions helps us make better choices to care for our environment while meeting our needs.
Learning Goals
- Describe how and why people have adapted to and modified their environment in the United States, including the use of human resources to meet basic needs.
- Analyze the positive and negative consequences of human modification of the environment in the United States.
