November 15th / 18th, 2013

Students,

Friday and today, we have been looking at the HEI (human environment interaction) of Europeans. More Specifically how they cope with deforestation, flooding, desertification, and lack of natural resources. We discussed two specific forms of HEI Polders and Desalination.

Polders are a modification of the environment in that prevents farmland from becoming flooded with the use of barriers called dykes and pumps. This is a modification.

Desalination is the process of taking ocean water and extracting fresh potable water from it. This is an adaptation.

Reminders: Unit 6 test is on Friday

Looking Forward: Tomorrow we will be looking at the history of Europe so feel free to brush up on thousands of years of human history.
