-If people were to live on or by the Andes Mountains their houses would either surround  Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, because the have a resource in which they need to survive. Or by one of the rivers that are close to the Andes Mountains.]]> 2016-10-14 16:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130810298 How physical features affect economic activity pmb1953 https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130814452 -Farming is a physical feature that is located mainly in the Brazilian Hylands because of the perfect tropical climate for tropical crops.

-Ranching is also a physical feature that happens in the grasslands of Brazil and Argentina because it has lots of open grassy land for animals to eat, therefore it is easy for us to get food.]]> 2016-10-14 16:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130814452 Human-environment interaction  pmb1953 https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130817473 -Deforestation is a huge problem in Latin America especially because it's causing the Amazon Rain-forest to be cut down illegally by us humans, that is called logging.

-Us humans mainly only cut down tree's for our own personal reasons and agriculture. This is resulting to animals dying and loosing homes also deforestation.

-One last thing is forest rain forest, trees in general give us life without them our carbon dioxide levels would be all over the place because trees absorb carbon and we can't have a certain overflow level of carbon or we will eventually die.]]> 2016-10-14 17:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130817473 Amazon Rainforest pmb1953 https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130821092 2016-10-14 17:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130821092 Andes Mountains pmb1953 https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130822267 2016-10-14 17:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pmb1953/bm19raftwv8e/wish/130822267
