Physical GeographyPhysical Geography

Geography affects where and how people live. Places can be described using relative location. In North America, major features are the Rocky Mountains, Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River.

Latitude and longitude affect the climate of a place. Humans migrate based on natural resources and population density. In general, the US is going through urbanization. TompkinsTompkins
