Environmental Factors: Important for Human Survival?

Imagine that you are living 200 years in the future. Earth has been invaded by a powerful empire, Akkadiana, but you manage to escape with several friends in a small space ship. Your space ship lands on an unknown planet, but you find that the geography and the environment are just like Earth. The only difference is there are no cities, towns or villages and you and your friends are the only humans here.

1) Think about what you have learned in Chapters 4-7 before you begin this blog.
2) Identify 3 environmental factors you would look for before you build your own small village.
–I would look for trees, river and plain.
3) Write a short explanation for each environmental factor describing why they are important for the survival of your village.

Maybe…
First, I would look for rivers because I think that the river is very important to us. We cannot survive without water. The river provides us fresh water. We need fresh water for many reasons. We can use this to cook, bathe, drink and was our clothes. We can also get food from the river because we can catch fish and others animals.

Then I would look for trees near the river. I need trees to make things like tools, furniture and houses. I would also collect the branches to make a fire. Another good thing about trees is that they can protect us from the Sun.

Lastly, I would look for a plain that is near the river, so that I can grow crops. Plains are the only places that we can grow crops. Plains near the river usually have fertile soil so my crops can grow well. I can also get water easily from the river to water my crops.
