MODIFICATION OF THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

1. Human modifications of the physical environment in one place often lead to changes in other places

Therefore, the student is able to:

A. Describe and explain how human-induced changes in one place can affect the physical environment in other places, as exemplified by being able to

Describe and explain how the construction of dams and levees on rivers in one region affects places downstream (e.g., water availability for human consumption and agriculture, flood control, electricity generation, aquatic and riparian ecosystems).

Describe how human changes to land cover can have negative impacts on other areas (e.g., deforestation and downstream flooding, siltation, soil erosion).

Explain how industrial activities (e.g., factories, electric power generating plants) affects other locations (e.g., acid rain downwind, thermal inversions, smog).

THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY

2. The use of technology has changed the scale at which people can modify the physical environment

Therefore, the student is able to:

A. Describe and explain the ways in which technology has expanded the scale of human modification of the physical environment, as exemplified by being able to

Describe and explain how strip-mining technology has altered the physical environment of the United States (e.g., mountaintop removal in West Virginia, culm heaps in the anthracite region of northeastern Pennsylvania, deep craters in the Powder River Basin strip mine).

Describe how changes in technology have altered the methods and amount of travel and therefore the effects on the physical environment (e.g., car emissions, road building, airplane jet exhaust and noise).

Describe and explain how green construction techniques may increase sustainability and reduce the scale of human-induced effects on the physical environment (e.g., reduced energy use, the use of new sustainable building materials).

CONSEQUENCES FOR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS

3. The physical environment can both accommodate and be endangered by human activities

Therefore, the student is able to:

A. Analyze the positive and negative consequences of humans changing the physical environment, as exemplified by being able to

Analyze the positive and negative effects of human actions on the lithosphere (e.g., land degradation and erosion, soil salinization and acidification).

Analyze the proportion of built area to vegetation land cover around a community and identify possible consequences in changes to that proportion (e.g., habitat changes, heat island effect, water and wetland patterns).

Analyze the ways humans can have positive effects on the physical environment (e.g., open green space protection, wetland restoration, sustainable forestry).
