Answer 1

Answer:

Religious and ethnic groups both reflect and influence the geography of places at different scales since human beings, who are ultimately the ones who give geography its cultural and social component, tend to group together in specific places, depending on their similarities and its adaptability to environmental conditions. Thus, for example, in Canada French speakers tend to cluster in the province of Quebec and, to a lesser extent, in northern Ontario. This affects the political geography of the place, since it makes the official language of Quebec French and not English, which is the official language of the rest of the country.
