Examples of Human Adaptation

Diets are an example of human adaptation because the food available depends on the geographical area where humans live.

For example, the Inuit eat a lot of seal and fish because those are the most abundant sources of food in the artic, while the Mediterranean diet is abundant in fruits and vegetables because the climate of the Mediterranean is warm, and many crops grow there.

Examples of Human  Modification

Aqueducts are a form of human modification. They are physical structures used to carry water from one place to another, and they can be built above ground or underground. The Romans were famous builders of acqueducts.

Examples of both

Wells are like a rudimentary aqueduct. They are digged in the ground to obtain water from underground sources, and represent both a human adaptation and modification at the same time.

the actual answers are a, b, and d.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
