=Ideal Site for Early Human Settlement=

After taking notes on the requirements for early human settlement, use GoogleEarth to explore areas that you feel have the ideal climate, landforms, etc. that would make it an ideal spot for early human settlement. You may NOT use the four areas that we know were the first human settlements. Present your site to your classmates. Include the location, pictures, and give evidence as to WHY it meets the requirements for human settlement.

I choose Miami, Florida. I choose it because it is very close to Cuba which would be go trading wise. The highest the temperature gets is 84 degrees & the lowest is 69.4 degrees which is a pretty good climate to plant & grow crops. It is also close to water which would be good for fishing & watering crops. The area gets about 69 inches of rainwater a year.

The site I have chosen was the Galveston area near the Gulf of Mexico. The reason I chose this site is because It is near an abundant source of water necessary for fishing. Their it has a good climate that reaches from about 90 degrees to about 50 degrees which is pretty good for crops and vegetables. Also it's good for the people that live there. Also yearly that area gets 2.5 in of rain to about 6 in of rain. The average temperature of that site is about 76 degrees.

The location i chose was the upper west coast, Washington state or Oregon. I chose this location because the weather there is very consistent and calm so it would be easier to grow crops or raise livestock. Temperature can between 85-90 at most and reaching low 40's as well as the rain is pretty consistent and will be great for crops and it is a non hurricane region so settlements wouldn't be destroyed by severe climates. Also the land here is very stable so buildings and structures wouldnt have to worry about earthquakes.

I would say that the right place for the early civilization would be on the coast of Africa in Portugal or France because they have the north and south Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea for food and to receive and sell goods to people.

this location i chose is lake Baikal in Siberia its the oldest existing freshwater lake on earth its 20-25 years old and also its the worlds deepest lake.i picked this location because its good for exporting goods and also it has more than 1,700 diffrent species of plants and animals. -crystal ochoa

** California has been called “the most hydrologically altered landmass on the planet”, and it is true: the California of today bears little resemblance to its former self. Today, there are reservoirs where there once was desert, desert where there once was cropland, and cropland where there once was a swampy marsh. Some rivers have been dried up; some rivers flow through mountains into other rivers’ beds; and some rivers even flow backwards at times. **** These water projects have helped make California a leading agricultural producer, a major manufacturing center, the most populated state in the country, and the eighth largest economy in the world. ** ** -FAYE **

The site I have chosen is Belhaven, Virgina. There is a a source of water near by which is good for shipping out goods and what not. It is also good for crops, fishing, and drinking. There is also plenty of land to grow crops as well. The temperature there is decent as well, reaching from 70-80 and low in the 40's. So overall it is a lovely place to be.
