Chapter:4 QUESTION: 40

56 56. The study of geography will help me compare the physical and human features of world regions and better understand how people are affected by their environment and how they in turn affect the environment. It will also help me understand the connections between different places.

Chapter:1 QUESTION: 47

57 57. The study of geography can help people understand the connections between different places; the background of religious, ethnic, and political conflicts; and the environmental consequences of human activities.

Chapter:1 QUESTION: 50

58 58. What natural resources does this place possess? What are its predominant physical features? What are the ethnic origins of the population? How has the location of this place affected its development?

Chapter:1 QUESTION: 52

59 59. As the greenhouse effect increased, the atmosphere would slowly warm, melting the polar ice caps, raising water levels, and flooding low-lying areas all over the world. In turn, climates would generally get warmer and wetter. The pattern of ocean currents and probably of prevailing winds would change, affecting temperatures and precipitation patterns. This would in turn create major changes in vegetation patterns and regions.

Chapter:2 QUESTION: 61

60 60. Continued population growth would result in an increased demand on the world's supply of food, water, and other resources. While these conditions would present a challenge to all nations, their impact would be greatest on the developing nations of the world, which tend to be poorer and have fewer resources.

Chapter:3 QUESTION: 49

61 61. AgreeÄÄErasing cultural differences to create a global culture is a good idea because it would make understanding and cooperation among people easier.

DisagreeÄÄCreating a global culture is a bad idea because it would erase the richness and diversity of human culture.

Chapter:3 QUESTION: 51

62 62. Most people live in places where the soil is reasonably fertile, the water supply sufficient, and the climate mild enough to grow crops. They avoid harsh environments.

Chapter:3 QUESTION: 52

63 63. The environment will need to be protected from the acid rain that coal smoke produces.

Chapter:4 QUESTION: 47

64 64. The possession of resources that are in world demand can turn a developing country into an important political and economic force. Oil is one such resource. As the world continues to search for untapped sources of oil, competition for the known supplies remains high among the developed nations that depend on oil as their main energy source.

Chapter:4 QUESTION: 48

65 65. Though these resources are renewable, people need to use them wisely. Natural growth takes time, and nature cannot always replenish forests that are cut down, fishing grounds that are overfished, and soil that is overused. When natural resources are not replenished, people will eventually run out of them.

Chapter:4 QUESTION: 50

66 66. There is a limited supply of fossil fuels (about 100 years for oil). Also, fossil fuels are a major cause of pollution and environmental damage.

Chapter:4 QUESTION: 51

67 67. Resources and climate determine the economic activities of a region, which, in turn, influence how people live and what cultures they develop.
