Today in human geo we went over some main points about "Site and Situation" First off what is a site? A site is a physical characteristic of a place. A sub topic for site and situation is "Water Sources. " Some water sources could be a lake, river, or ocean, etc. What are these water sources used for? In most places they are used to survive. For example a river could be used to get clean drinking water and the ocean could be used to fish out of so you have food. The next subtopic that we covered was "Topography" This is the level of elevation in area. An example of this would be like a topographical map showing the mountains. Another sub topic that we went over  is "Soil." Soil determines how ell a areas agriculture economy does. It the soil is rich then you will be able to grow more food and the food will come out better. The last sub topic we covered was "Vegetation." This is how densely populated and area is with plants and trees and moss and other types of grasses and tropical like plants. An example of an area with high vegetation would be the amazon forest. All of things are different characteristics that all add up to make a site.
