Site

Today in honors human geo we had a very interesting class.  today we talked about site.  Site is the physical characteristics of a place.  there are many aspects that go into a site such as water sources, latitude, weather, landforms, etc.   then we talked about who two places on the same latitude can have very similar climates.  after that, we talked about who site has caused many people to chose where to settle.  In most cases in the US, the water sources caused the settlements to take place and now they have become the country's largest cities.  after that, we talked about how it is very possible for humans to change their site.  one example that we gave was Manhatten and how it is currently 2 times larger than in 1626.  Then we talked about how changing site can both have positive and negative repercussions on the environment and economy.
