Human Impact
Human impact on the environment can be explained in two important ways. One is how humans have adapted to and changed their environment to survive and make life more comfortable and convenient. The other is the effects of these changes and adaptations.
This site shows how humans have made many changes to their geographical situations to better suit their needs and wants. Most of these changes/adaptations have had a positive impact on the lives of humans, but were not necessarily good for the environment. Students can discuss and relate the standards of natural and man made objects to support or reject the problems and solutions that would be best for the environment.
