SS.5.4 GEOGRAPHY IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE: The diverse geography of the Western Hemisphere has influenced human culture and settlement in distinct ways. Human communities in the Western Hemisphere have modified the physical environment.
SS.5.4.c The physical environment influences human population distribution, land use, and other forms of economic activity.
SS.8.8.c Pollution, population growth, the consumption of natural resources, clearing of land for human sustenance, and large-scale industrialization have put added stress on the global environment.
SS.8.8.c.1 Students will explore the impact of pollution, industrialization and population growth on the environment such as urban areas (Love Canal), plant and animal life (Adirondack Park) and energy sources (Three Mile Island).
SS.SSP.5.5.2 Distinguish human activities and human-made features from “environments” (natural events or physical features—land, air, and water—that are not directly made by humans) in the Western Hemisphere.
