How much does geography shape people's lives?

plz answer asap!!

I would argue that geography impacts everyone's life to some extent. For example, Boston probably has more people making a living harvesting seafood than, say, Omaha. Physical location is also one of the main factors in the success of a new nation-- specifically midlatitude states where the basic nutritional needs of its citizens can be met due to high-calorie crops' availability. Also, countries with large coastlines and many deep water ports for a long time dominated global trade, giving them a economic advantage over their competitors. At least one of these factors probably helped determine any given country's success (or lack thereof) and thus, the opportunities of its people.

While physical geography is a factor in the makeup of people's lives I think it is far from the only one.

HTH :)

its many islands, high mountains, and remote peninsulas isolated population centers.
