Answer:

A. The built environment has an impact on the natural environment.

Explanation:

Of human activities on earth, construction is one of the most impacting on the environment.

In the United States, for example, approximately 35% of all materials extracted from nature annually (wood, metals, sand, stones, etc.) are used by construction.

In addition to the natural resources used, over 50% of all energy produced in the United States is used to power our homes and condominiums. A considerable amount of energy could be easily saved if these buildings made better use of natural sunlight or used economical light bulbs and showers, for example.

To lessen this environmental impact, in the last decades of the 20th and early 20th centuries, civil engineering professionals began to develop the concept of sustainable construction.

Explanation:

Disadvantages of Choropleth Maps

Although choropleths give a good visual impression of change over space there are certain disadvantages to using them:

They give a false impression of abrupt change at the boundaries of shaded units.

Choropleths are often not suitable for showing total values. Proportional symbols overlays (included on the choropleth map above) are one solution to this problem.

It can be difficult to distinguish between different shades.

Variations within map units are hidden, and for this reason smaller units are better than large ones.

Isopleth maps

Isopleth maps differ from choropleth maps in that the data is not grouped to a pre-defined unit like a city district. These maps can take two forms:

Lines of equal value are drawn such that all values on one side are higher than the "isoline" value and all values on the other side are lower, or

Ranges of similar value are filled with similar colours or patterns.

This type of map is ideal for showing gradual change over space and avoids the abrupt changes which boundary lines produce on choropleth maps. Temperature, for example, is a phenomenon that should be mapped using isoplething, since temperature exists at every point (is continuous), yet does not change abruptly at any point (like population density may do as you cross into another census zone). Relief maps should always be in isopleth form for this reason.
