Human-Environment Interaction
Welcome! In this lesson, we will learn about human-environment interaction.
Summary
Dependence: Humans rely on natural resources for survival and daily life.
– Water, land, forests, minerals
Adaptation: People change their behavior or structures to survive in different environments.
– Houses on stilts, warm clothing, irrigation systems
Modification: Humans change the environment to meet their needs.

Impacts:
– Positive: increased food, improved living conditions, economic growth
– Negative: pollution, climate change, loss of biodiversity, worsened natural disasters
