"How do the people relate to the land?"
===Adaptions to Environment===

The area of the Pacific Northwest is loved by its people, because they respect and appreciate what they have around them. The abundant forests that are in the area are protected by the National Park Service, such as the Lewis and Clark National Park, Olympic, and Redwood and Yosemite Park. These parks have some of the highest number of visitors in the country. They work to preserve these areas for the years to come. The rivers that run through the area, such as the Columbia River have many dams that produce hydro-electric power for the surrounding cities to use and run off. The volcanoes that are either active or dormant in the area keep people at arm’s length and discourage the building of homes and living around the mountain of the volcano's.

Dependence on Natural Resources
The forests of the Pacific Northwest provide the are with plenty logging, mining and fishing of the coast. Logging and saw mills are the of largest industries, but the government had forced logging companies to turn down their economic output in efforts to save the remaining forestry that is not protected by National or state parks. The fishing industry has also tightened the belt in order to stop over fishing the salmon.

Adaptions to Environment
Scotland's people had adapted themselves and the way the live in many different ways. The land is composed of three different and very distinct areas, which are the Northern Highlands, Central Lowlands, and Southern Uplands. The highlands are composed of the lochs and rivers that are important to the movement of goods and people in Scotland. The Central lowlands are full of minerals such as iron and coal, and have volcanic activity in the past. Lastly, the southern uplands contain abundant hills and valleys that have amazing low dunes near the coastlines that have beautiful pastures for raising livestock. On general, the western side of the country is warmer than the eastern side.

Dependence on Natural Resources

Scotland has abundant natural resources that boost their economy. In the 1970's drilling for oil began in the North Sea and has been successful ever since. Until recently production has been declining due to high economic prices. The fertile lands are great for agriculture and raising livestock which both together account for about one half of its economic income. The mining of coal was also very successful, but is declining, because of the availability of cheaper foreign coal. The coastline has rich waters that are full of herring, cod, lobster, haddock, and cod. Salmon fishing is also popular in the northern lochs, but is declining due to historical low amounts available of fish. To account for this, commercial fish farms to breed salmon in becoming increasingly popular.
