HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY
Environmental determinism the manner in which
humans and the environment interact.
Man and his culture are shaped by their environment and
while technology allows them to adapt, their underlying
characteristics have already been shaped by their
environment
Systems within a civilization are influenced by the
environment
Humans change and adapt their environment with
technology
Technology are methods that are used by man or mans
attempt to overcome his environment
Possibilism is a different theory that holds that there is
an interdependence between humans and their
physical environment and that while the environment
sets certain constraints, culture is shaped by man
