My comic life, we were told to describe each them of geography in two words and one image. The five themes are location, place, human environment interaction, movement and regions. The first one is location. I choose the word coordinates because it represents where you are and shows your location, I choose address because it is the location of a building. The second box is place. I choose land because a place like Canada has lots of mountains unlike other places. I choose culture because every place has different cultures and food.

This box is Human environment interaction. Human environment interaction is when a human or humans interact with the environment. I choose modify because we modify land and natural areas. I choose adapt because we adapt to the environment, fro example we wear clothes to be warm.

This one is movement. I choose transportation because that is a way to move people, ideas, and goods. I choose vehicle because it’s a form of transportation

This is the final box. It’s regions. I choose named and governmental. I know your thinking what does named have to do with it, because regions can be named by people and the government. And governmental because the government named regions.

Another big industry that shaped the west was mining. People didn’t want to settle in BC they wanted the resources. Most people came to BC because word of gold had spread.

All the houses, roads, and The CPR were because of forestry. If trees were not taken down there wouldn’t be room for any of these things. Houses and the CPR were made of wood and other materials.

What made and makes the west is a very important question. For me it’s the economy. The main food source for the indigenous peoples of BC was salmon. When the Europeans arrived they turned the salmon into an industry. The salmon was a big part of the west, the Europeans used it as a food source and they used it for profit, they were able to ship it on the Canadian pacific railway.

The last major industry of the west is agriculture. The food we eat is because of fames. This land was farmed and raised cattle for us. People didn’t want to come to the west so the government offered ready made farms. Fames that came equipped with a house, barn, hose, and a wall, and the prices were really cheap. All of those industries were essential for the wests economy.

Murtle park

Geography is shown here through human environment interaction. We modified and built on nature to benefit us we interacted with nature by cutting trees down.

This photo shows the environmental changes. It shows how we used nature to make things for us. Local parks for the people. This photo makes the west because if there was no railway there wouldn’t be enough people here to build a park, there would be no way to transfer people, good, and ideas. Also If Amor de Cosmos did not help Bc join the confederation, we might not have even been part of canada. If he didn’t get Bc to join confederation there wouldn’t be a railway. This park connects to the economy because we took down trees to make this park which ties into forestry.

My connection with this place is that i we my dog here, and have been here for school, and I have also had the terry fox run here

Covert cafe and market

This place is covert cafe and market it shows human environment interaction because us humans made it for our benefit. As well as location because it has address. Also it shows regions because it’s in a vernacular region deep cove. It influences us to eat there, we built it for our benefit it also boosts the economy.

If the railway was not built there wouldn’t be a way to transfer good. Also if there weren’t things like furs or the gold rush this place wouldn’t have as many people, everyone wanted the resources in Bc. If the newcomers didn’t trade blankets or if they didn’t let firs nations hunt they would not have this land, because of how they traded goods for land. This place had deforestation so it could be built. Also this place doesn’t serve fish but it’s next to places that do, so that ties into fishing industry of the economy

My personal connection is that I did my very first humanities project working with this company, and they make really good cinnamon rolls.
