DEPEND ON ADAPT TO MODIFY (CHANGE) air to breathe sunlight for energy, and to help plants grow rain waters plants and gives us life plants for food trees = wood for building flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, earth quakes if it is cold we put on a sweater if it is too warm, we wear shorts farming litter and pollute cut down forests for houses plant trees and flowers recycle clean up beaches

In the case of hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, and flooding, humans have to adapt to the changes in their environment.

Humans clear land for new homes and neighborhoods.

Farming is another example of how humans modify the world around them.
