Question 29 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following is the best example of the natural environment influencing the built environment?

Answer
A
the use of aqueducts to carry water from the Owens River to the city of Los Angeles
B
the underground social spaces created in Montreal to tolerate extreme winter temperatures
C
the existence of zebra mussels in the Great Lakes
D
the construction of an airport in the harbor of Tokyo Bay

Explanation

Montreal’s extreme winter temperatures are a feature of its natural environment. Creating underground social spaces lets people travel and gather while sheltered from the cold, so the climate directly influences the built environment. Zebra mussels are part of the natural environment, not a built feature, and an airport in Tokyo Bay is not as clearly an adaptation to a natural condition.
