Culture and the Environment

Question 5 • Grade 8 World Cultures and Geography A

All of the following practices are examples of how the natural environment influences culture except __________.

Answer
A
traditional Hawaiian beliefs include a volcano goddess
B
kids around the world play soccer
C
historically, the Inuit diet consisted of mostly meat
D
homes in Norway have steep roof lines

Explanation

The natural environment can shape beliefs, food, and building design. Hawaii’s volcanoes are reflected in beliefs about a volcano goddess, the Inuit traditionally relied on meat in a cold environment with limited crops, and steep roofs in Norway help snow slide off. Soccer is played by children around the world and is not specifically an example of the natural environment shaping culture, so the answer is “kids around the world play soccer.”
