This is because if an area is too hot or too cold, it will be inhabitable because soil would be too dry/hard to grow anything and because it would take a lot more work to stay alive and to keep your body temperature at the right temperature. Also solid ground is greatly needed. Solid ground is important so you can be able to have a shelter and be able to have warmth to survive. This is why people usually live in more mild climates.]]> 2016-09-01 15:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121115645 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121226284 Humans modify and depend on the land in a few different ways. One way is that they modify the land to prevent flooding and to try to prevent tsunamis and hurricanes. They do this by creating a polder(an area of land that is made by draining the water from an area), levee, dike, seawall,canal, and/or pumps. Humans depend on the land for making their food and things that they need to profit from such as, cows, wheat, rice, sheep, etc. Humans have modified the land to better suit them by figuring out which crops and animals do best in certain climates which will help them grow better food and keep their animals much healthier.]]> 2016-09-01 22:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121226284 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121356952 Humans modify their environment. One way is the we make dams to control the water flow in rivers, gulfs, and even streams. We do this so that we are less like to get floods when/if the body of water would overflow or even if the water rises greatly. Humans depend on the land for many things. One of the things being food. We depend on the land for our food sources; some of our food sources that greatly depend on the land are livestock(sheep, cows, etc), plants(for medicine, herbs, and food), and even places to build housing provinces. If the land does not suit any of the needs well, we will have extreme difficulties living there. Humans also depend on adapting to the land to survive. We adapt to the land by making and using air conditioning, fans, heaters, and even fires are all adaptations to help us survive and thrive more comfortably.]]> 2016-09-02 15:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121356952 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121620559 Sustainability is the use of our resources in ways that do not constrain or greatly affect people in the future. This affects population because if the population goes up a ton more, it will be difficult to continue sustainability because we will need more food and houses to attempt to keep the population solid and for everyone to have shelter and food. We will need to cut down more trees, use more fossil fuels, etc; which will make our resource count decrease greatly which will make it more difficult to continue to reserve our resources for the future generations. ]]> 2016-09-05 17:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121620559 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121837150 Humans use resources and modify the environment]]> 2016-09-06 15:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/121837150 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122138642 Population pyramids distinguish the population of different countries. It distinguishes them by age group, gender, and amount of people there are in that category. Industrialization and education impact the growth rates because if the industrialization is advanced, there will be more and better medicine, so people will live much longer. If the education is advanced, people will be able to receive better education, which will help them get better jobs, but will slow down the birth rate because the people will want to focus more on their job, at least at first, and not really worry about children.]]> 2016-09-07 15:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122138642 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122779098 The first stage of population is when a country is developing and they are trying to get as many children as possible. There is a high amount of death and birth rates. In the second stage of population, the birth rates are still high, but the death rates are slowly decreasing. In a stage 3 country, the birth rates begin to slow down, women are focusing more on work. In stage 4, both birth and death rates are decreasing.]]> 2016-09-09 15:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122779098 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122781546 Population changes because of a various amount of things. Some of these things are immigration, refugees, and even wars when there is one. People leave because either they want to start fresh, or they are removed forcibly from their country. This doesn't necessarily change the world's population, so much as the region's population. ]]> 2016-09-09 15:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/122781546 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/123176554 There are mainly 3 different economic systems. The first one is complete freedom. This is when there are no rules to follow and everyone can do whatever they want. The second is when there are some regulations and some freedom. The last one is where there is absolutely or virtually no freedom and the government controls everything. ]]> 2016-09-12 15:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/123176554 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/123495033 Some key economic indicators are literacy rate, infant mortality rate, GDP, GDP per capita, the amount of clean, drinkable water that is readily available for the population, and the average life expectancy.]]> 2016-09-13 15:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/123495033 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/123809253 A developing country has low literacy rate, low access to water, and a high mortality rate for babies/young children.

In a dictatorship, the government controls absolutely everything. The citizens have virtually no freedom, and the citizens have no right to say anything about the government/they can't give their opinion on anything (the citizens).]]> 2016-09-15 15:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/124096623 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/124381054 Society will always change over time, whether we want it to or not. There will always be arguments, fighting, and the creation of anything new. All of these things will cause some sort of change, good or bad. In return, the effects that happen, will likely cause many new effects, which will make an endless cycle of change.]]> 2016-09-16 15:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/124381054 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/124782386 The world is interconnected through tons of different ways. Some of these ways are that we have all different kinds of foods from everywhere around the world. We also have cars that were invented and build from different countries around the globe. We can even travel to other countries, anywhere in the world if we wish to. Technology helps us keep the world interconnected because if someone has a device in Africa, they will most likely be able to communicate with someone in Canada, if they both have the correct technology and communication devices.]]> 2016-09-19 15:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/124782386 helenbar7792 https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/125126566 Culture began and originated from hearths. Culture moves across the planet through the globalization of devices, communication, and even food and religion. Some characteristics that define a culture are the food they eat, what religions they follow, and  what the norms are for where they live. Some of these norms are like how many children they can/are allowed to have, what the working age is, and the limitations for certain peoples.]]> 2016-09-20 15:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/helenbar7792/76o0h4puulsy/wish/125126566
