How Geography Affect America

Geography has influenced Washington State’s industry because of out many different areas. Each area affects Washington differently.One way geography influences Washington is the Puget sound. IN the Puget Sound most of their big industries rely on the water. The water opens up many industries like Blue Water Shipping. This industry relays on the water to transport goods. Another way geography influences Washington is the Columbia Plateau. The Columbia Plateau’s main industry is agriculture. Agriculture provides many different jobs like, planting, spraying, cutting, transportation of the product, and much more. Agriculture also provides food.

When the European settlers arrived in the New World, geography had a huge impact on how the New World colonies developed. The new settlers wanted to reside in area where they could access food and natural resources, the sea for trade, land for farming, and an area safe from attack. Each colony relied on a product to sell that was native to their location. These products were traded, and helped the colony to survive. Although cultural and religious beliefs played a significant role in developing the British colonies of North America, geography played an even bigger role in shaping the colonies, as well as today's society.

Geography and climate impact the economy of a region because they impact what products can be manufactured and then sold. In a region with fertile soil and warm summers, agriculture will be a very large business, allowing extra food crops to be sold. Wheat can be ground into flour and made into bread. Tobacco can be sold to people all over the colony, country, or even all over the world. This is like the economy of the colony of Pennsylvania. The geography, such as large deposits of iron, large forests, and good farmland, along with the mild climate, made Pennsylvania well suited for lots of agriculture and gave it many different products to sell. Therefore, the geography and climate boosted colonial Pennsylvania’s economy until it prospered

Lesson 1 1. I think because a lot of people didn’t want to go to war or enter the military service because of many different reasons and beliefs they had also some democrats that wanted peace and to reunite the states through negotiation rather than force. 2. Attrition, the wearing down of one side by the other through exhaustion of soldiers and resources, played a critical role as the war dragged on. The north, with its large population, could replace its troops much more easily than the south. 3. The confederate constitution emphasized states’ rights and limited the central government’s power. This commitment to states’ rights often interfered with Davis’s ability to conduct the war. Although many southern leaders supported the war, some opposed Jefferson Davis when he supported conscription and established martials law early in 1862. 4.The north had a strong naval tradition. More than three-fourths of the united states navy’s officers came from the north. Also most of the navy’s warships and all but two of the nation’s shipyards remained under union control. The north also had several economic advantages. The north had a larger population, giving it an advantage in raising an army and in supporting the war effort. In addition, in 1860 the north produced almost 90 percent of total manufacturing weapons and equipment. The north also had more railroad lines to enable the movement of armies and supplies. The north also had

After settling the land on the east coast of the United States, many wanted to gain more out of the land in order to create wealth. The main location of population in Michigan was in certain places for certain reasons. Their lives were not the greatest, but they worked hard for what they had. Western expansion into Michigan was for many important reasons, and became very important in the future of the United States.

Westward expansion begun when Americans began to make purchases of territories in the west. The expansion included Manifest Destiny which was the idea of bringing liberty to the lands. Before the Louisiana Purchase, Native Americans occupied all of the land to the west of the Mississippi River. Native Americans abided by tribal law, traded, produced crafts, tools, and clothing. Their appearance typically obtained long hair for both men and women, head dresses, skirts, and or dresses, before the white men interfered. They lived in extended family groups with ties to other tribes that spoke the same language. While expanding, farmers found fertile lands, developments of railroads increased, trade increased, and due to the Gold Rush in California, the discovery of gold influenced the expansion. Settlers would be in hopes to discover treasurous gold, therefore they would expand. Often conflicts and clashes would occur due to many Native Americans disliking living on reservations often poor and starving. The settlers often brought diseases, and killed off thousands of buffalo.Western expansion and the federal government affected the Native Americans by assimilation, conflicts and clashes finally, treaties and acts.

In the essay I will explain how Americas changed physically, socially, and politically since 1787. In paragraph two I will talk about how Americas changed physically. In paragraph three I will talk about how Americas changed socially. In paragraph four I will talk about how Americas changed politically. Than in paragraph five I will go over all of the important things that I have covered in the previous paragraphs. So let’s get started in 1787 as a small but confident country.

The purchase of the Louisiana Territory in 1803 opened the door to westward expansion. Thomas Jefferson purchased this extensive plot of land with the hopes of strengthening and expanding the Republic, unaware that it would have the opposite effect. Jefferson’s fateful decision to expand the United States nearly destroyed the Republic that Americans worked so hard to build. It triggered the rise of divisions amongst Americans. These small cracks continued to grow and tear at the seams of the nation. Although westward expansion between 1800 and 1848 granted many new opportunities to the American people, it also brought about tension that plagued the nation for years to come.

America has evolved greatly since the late 1800s in its aspects of industrialism, expansionism, progressivism, isolationism, and globalization. The industrial era brought on a rise of big businesses and new opportunities through railroad transportation, and has since then given us a country of strong corporation and an ever expanding possibility of transportation of people and goods, alike. The country fought to expand its property lines, communications, and government influence throughout the 1900s. Presently, the United States focuses more on, abandoning the previous idea of isolation to keep the country out of foreign affairs, and instead aiming for more worldwide involvement through successful attempts in globalization.

Northern Africa and Southwestern Asia are the most prominent and politically controversial region. The area is known to have dry climates and environmental problems that affect their source of fresh water. The political control of Ottoman Empire affected much of the world culture and trade. The region is also known for the diversity of many religions and languages that influences their beliefs. Northern Africa and Southwestern Asia have become the country it is today due to the arid climates, political control, and the diversity of religion and languages.

Geography influences culture in many ways. A civilizations geography determines what kind of god(s) they believe in as well as influences from other cultures. These features provide a stepping stone for cultures that are solely based on geography.

Maybe some people will think human geography has no relation between physical geography. But I think human geography has a great effect on physical geography, and physical geography has a great effect on human geography too.

Throughout history you can see the effects that geography had on civilizations. Geography had - and still does - many effects on people's daily lives. Two civilizations that strongly felt the effects were Egypt and Mesopotamia. They felt many effects on their agriculture, government, and cultures.

Many studies have demonstrated the idea that institutions are the main factor of economic development because empirical evidence points to strong institutions being able to determine large growth of GDP per capita. Although the characteristics of strong institutions can be described as the potential fundamental cause of economic growth, the effects of geography and materials available to different certain regions have a huge hand in properly developing a society economically and allowing for further growth. The resources of the countries heavily depend on the raw materials available to each region and the kinds of animals they are able to domesticate. This is where the argument circulates around in which geography is a large determinant of whether a civilization or society can prosper in a certain area or not.

Geography and environment has a closer impact on socio-economic development of a region. Historical data has revealed that geography has some effect on shaping the economic history. However, the amount of variance is an important consideration. Tropics are varied by broad climatic zones and economies as well (Torres & Mendez, 2000; 2002, Inter-American Development Bank, 2000). As a result, the research would identify the key geographical and climatic factors from the national database and analyze its relationship with income per person longitudinal data for a time period of 1950 to 2014. This paper will analyze this variance to test and interpret the condition of multicollinearity using a regression analysis, as some geographical factors might be highly correlated impacting the ultimate results.
