List at least two ways that climate affects settlement choices?
Climate affects the ways humans grow food, which can deter people from wanting to live in colder places, for example.
Some people would prefer to live in a warm place over a cold place.
Colder northern places, especially beyond the tree line, have less access to sun, which can affect your mental health.

Divide the total population by the land area.
what cyclical natural force is responsible for both building and destroying landforms?
Erosion
What force causes the creation of fault block mountains?
when tectonic plates are pulled apart, along the fault lines this can cause large blocks of rocks to rise and fall.
List four advantages of clustered settlement patterns.
1. Close to amenities.

Describe in detail, the cycle of human interaction with the environment. Choose one thing that humans do, and explain how that action can affect a cycle of nature.
Answers may vary. Look for an answer that discusses at least 3 processes in the cycle. Something about global warming would be an excellent answer.
What happens at a convergent boundary of tectonic plates?
The two plates are pushing together. this can cause the creation of a mountain range as both plates push with the same force- they move up against each other.
Define the term global settlement.
Global settlement can be defined as where people choose to live in the world.
