Sites and Settlement

1.

  • Site A- Site a is a decent spot to rest because you have a good source of water but it is bad because there are mountains that kind of block your passage to mainland. Other than that you have a good source of water. Another thing is there is no really good pieces of land around to to grow crops so that is a minus.
  • Site B- Site B is an okay spot to settle down. It has easy access to water so you will be able to catch fish. It isn't really surrounded by mountains so that is a plus. The closest farm land is a couple miles away so it wouldn't be able to grow crops then carry them back so there is no point in growing any crops. 
  • Site C- Site C is a perfect location to rest down except for having to cross a river for good farm land. That is a disadvantage because of the crossing of the crops and having to cross the river but it is the location with the closest farm land. It also has good access to water for fishing. It is also near a river so they can catch different things and have running clean water down a stream
  • Site D- Site D is an okay location because of the river that it has access to. The river is running so they could have clean water. But the disadvantages are having mountains to the north of them and having swamps south of the past the river. So it kind of isolates it from going anywhere north or south. 
  • Site E- Site E is another very good spot to settle down because of the features around it. For example, the running river that they have perfect access to. The also have a decent trudge to get to the ocean. They have sandbars around them which doesn't really affect them in any way. It also has a very good location to get to crop land because there is nothing in it's path and they are pretty close.
  • Ranking them from best to worse it would go C, E, D, B, then A

2.

  • Site A- Site A would have very easy trade from the ocean because it is right near it.  They could build up trading post but it would be hard if there was something they needed inland.
  • Site B- Site B would have very easy trade because of how close it is to water. But it would have access to interior markets that are inland more
  • Site C- Site C would kind of have the same situation as Site B but the only thing different would be the access to the river which would make it a lot better. Plus it also has access to farm land so they could trade crops that they have grown. They also have access to the river so they could go inland 
  • Site D- Site D has easy access to the river so that is good for the inland markets that could happen. But they wouldn't be able to go anywhere because of the mountains which are north of them and swamps that are south of them.
  • Site E- Site E has a river which could leave them to other towns or markets. It also has good crops so they could take them to the towns or markets to trade.

  • I would recommend site C because I has such good potential because of the farm land, river, and the access to the ocean. They have a lot of potential for getting to other towns and markets from the river. 

4.

  • Site A- Site A has easy access for the rivers that flow right around them and it has fresh water swamps and it also has waterfalls so you can't really boat down the way of the waterfall because you couldn't get back. The freshwater swamps are good because of the animals and vegetation around it. But you could also use the water fall for a power source.
  • Site B- Site B is kind of of isolated by itself because of the there isn't much around it but a river.
  • Site C- Site C is good in which it has very easy access to the location so they have very easy access to water and have a water supply. They could also use it as a way of travel like if they boated around.
  • Site D- Site D is okay in the fact that it has an ocean and the ocean connects to a river that leads more inland but it is bad in the fact that there is saltwater swamp basically surrounding them so they would have to travel by water.
  • Site A is the best site because you can travel by land and water. They also have a waterfall that could supply them with electricity and power.

5.

  • Site A- Site A has a good spot for coal because they are right near it and it also has access to waters so they could trade the coal.
  • Site B- Site B is a horrible place because it is surrounded by mountains. You would only settle there if you wanted complete isolation.
  • Site C- Site C is really good because if the coal all around it and also the water that is right around it so you would be able to trade. They could cross the water and get to good crop land. This would be an ideal spot to settle. 
  • Site D- Site D is right on the water which would make it easier for trade and it is also on the coal mine. It is an okay spot to settle
  • Ranking I would put C, D, A, B

6.

  • For the map "Settlement in 1650" the best location for railroads is either C or D and the fact that C is already good it would just make it even better.

Globalization is  the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide. One of the processes that happen with globalization is the trading of goods. It is created because of globalization which happens everywhere.  Also it creates a new way of transportation. When it happens it creates new ways to transport either physically or transporting a message. Like the phone, now we can just text someone and it goes  instantly.
