Understanding Human-Environment Interaction and Physical Features in Geography

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of Human-Environment Interaction through the example of log cabins, discussing how humans adapt their environment for shelter. We will also review key physical features of the Earth, including bays, mountains, and rivers, and their definitions. Additionally, we will utilize the S.A.L.T. - D.O.G. scale as a framework to analyze maps, examining important elements like scale, author, legend, title, date, orientation, and grid. Be prepared to engage with these concepts and complete your homework!
