Competency 117.1.1: Geography and the Development/Diffusion of Human Society – The graduate assesses how environmental/geographic factors such as location and availability of resources have affected and continue to affect the development, distribution, and diffusion of the human race over time.

Competency 117.1.2: Societal Interaction – The graduate evaluates how economic, political, and social-cultural connections shape interaction among both historical and contemporary societies.

Geographic and environmental factors have a significant influence on the development of trade and migration networks. Those networks and migration patterns ultimately lead to connections between divergent peoples and cultures. Thus, geography and resources have an influence on the development of and interaction between societies.

During your study of the geography and the development/diffusion of human society theme, you have encountered a number of examples that illustrate the influence and connections of societies.

In this task, you will be required to identify two environmental/geographic factors that you consider to be the most significant to the development or expansion of the United States, as well as one environmental/geographic factor that you consider to be the most significant to the development or diffusion of one other human society.

Task:
