History

The need to maximize a limited access to water for both human consumption and agriculture might explain the fact that both Peruvian cultures - both agricultural civilizations - used underground aqueducts to collect and transport water to reservoirs that were located nearby. For instance, the rivers that supplied the Nazca people did not carry any water during part of the year, so they conceived an innovative system that allowed them to collect the water from the rain that filtered through the ground into underground galleries, which allowed them to prevent the loss of that water - they inhabited a desert area, after all. The Chavin civilization also inhabited arid and extensive coastal areas that required ample and complex irrigation systems, hence the importance of saving and transporting water.

One of the first pioneers to cross the Appalachians mountains into Kentucky
vazorg [7]

   When europeans first came to America they setteld between the Atlantic coast and the Appalachian Mountains because they were difficult to cross. The goverment did not allow colonist to pass this mountains because the other side was indian territory. This rule was doing fine untill the land at the east of the Appalachian started to fill with farms and towns built by the colonists. They wanted more to fulfill the people´s needs. By the late 1700s many settlers crossed the Appalachian. But it was Daniel Boom in 1769 who discovered an indian trail throught the Cumberland Gap, he helped built there a road with the name of wilderness road.  

  But many years before that there was a group of people that tried to cross the Appalachian Mountains, the first european explorers were from Spain, Hernando de Soto and his troops traversed the region in the 1540 searching for gold. The first english exploration of the mountain were from a guy named Abraham Wood which began around 1650, he sent exploring parties to make direct contact with the Cherokee tribe in order to stablish a trade relationship.

  Althought there were many explorations before the Boom´s one, Daniel was the first in create a trail known as the Wilderness Road, it was steep, narrow, rough and could only be traversed on foot or horseback, despite this many people used it particularly slaveholders after some states had abolish the slavery and become free states.

Using your understanding of Von Thünen’s arrangement of agricultural crops surrounding the market, describe the location of dair
kvv77 [185]

Answer:Shipping low-yield crops great distances

Imagine a very large town in the center of a uniformly fertile plain; an isotropic space. Beyond the fertile space extends a desert that isolates the town from the rest of the world. There are no other populations. The only market buys all the agricultural production of the region, and is transported by the shortest route (a straight line).

In these conditions all men behave similarly in economic matters, that is, they have the same needs and abilities, produce equally and have a total knowledge of space and rationally conducts to achieve maximum performance, is the economic man. The differences in the cost of transport are taken into account depending on the distance, the quantity and the perishability of the merchandise.
