Mapping Project: India

These are our maps.
For this project we had to create three maps of India; climate, elevation and a 3D physical features/elevation map. Look at all three of the maps,

1. How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?

They are all related in different ways, elevation is related to the climate because the higher a place is it will effect the climate of a place. The physical features will obviously have effect on the climate and elevation of an area, if it is a mountainous area is will have a high elevation, if it was a rain-forest the climate will be tropical. They are all inter connecting, because one of the can cause another to change.

2. What conclusions can you draw?

The climate, elevation and physical features have an influence on where humans settle. The main thing about all these things that human look for is practicality, things like, are there resources nearby, how can certain features be beneficial and is it safe. Things like climate influence where we settle because we do not want to settle is a sweltering hot place where water is scarce yet neither do we want to settle in a extremely cold place where food is hard to farm. We look at elevation and factor things in such as, is this terrain of the side of a mountain where is will be hard to grow crops and build a house. Also physical features, physical features can mean resources if they are the beneficial kind. Things such as river give water to humans who settle there, where as people who settle in a desert, the physical features arent as beneficial.
