Unit 1 Lesson 13 DOL

Weavers in Greenland began changing how they produced clothing during the Little Ice Age. Cloth was woven more densely and goat hair was used in addition to sheep wool. 

The information above describes an adaptive strategy by weavers in response to…

• Colder Temperatures

• Increased Pollution

• Increased Rainfall

• Rougher Terrain

Which conclusion is supported by the information in this table?

• Geographic factors determine the recycling programs used by people.

• Rapid industrialization has increased the focus on preserving the environment.

• Human modification of the environment differs based on location.

• Geographic factors determine the types of conservation efforts used in a region.

Which conclusion is BEST supported by the maps?

• Advances in technology have improved the environment.

• Fewer natural resources slowed population growth.

• The need for land to cultivate crops increased greatly.

• The depletion of timber limited trade opportunities.

Based on the reading, which statement best summarizes the effect of technology on human-environment interaction?

• As industrialization increased, the number of farm workers increased and that led to less migration to urban areas.

• Decreases in the number of oxen and humans needed for agricultural output led to fewer expensive machines needed to produce agricultural products.

• Family and subsistence farms were less competitive with mechanization that took place in the 20th century, leading to a movement of farm workers to other urban farming areas.

• Increased industrialization and mechanization led to the migration of former farm workers and reduced the number of families depending directly on the environment for growing crops.

What are examples of ways people have adapted to/modified their environment? Cite at least two examples.
