1. Interactions with the Physical Environment
Exploring Connections: landforms, geology and human activities

2. How do different landforms and geologic processes contribute to where and how people live?
To answer this we need to know:
What landforms are
What geologic processes mean

3. Patterns and Processes
Four interrelated aspects of physical geography
- landforms, climate, natural vegetation and soils
They affect where people live and work in Canada
There are patterns that exist in each of the aspects but it is important to know the processes that case the patterns

4. Physical Geographic Aspects
Which do you think has the biggest impact on where people live?
landforms,
climate,
natural vegetation
soils

5. Landform Processes
