Answer:

Colonialism, that is, the policies carried out by the European powers to obtain territories abroad and exploit them economically within the framework of mercantilist economic production, forever marked the destiny of the different nations that emerged from the colonized territories.  

This was the case, among others, of the nations of Central America and the Caribbean, where powers such as Spain, England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal established different colonies, transferring their cultures to these territories, to the detriment of native cultures, which they were displaced and in many cases wiped out by the colonizers.

In this way, the nations of these regions are the product of said colonialist intervention: their peoples emerge from the mixture of Europeans, slaves, natives and later migrants, and their cultures are also a mixture between these nations. In addition, politically these countries have adopted Western systems, leaving aside the systems applied by the natives.

How the physical environment has affected human activity in Central America?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Humans require water for survival, so they tend to settle near areas with access to large amounts of water. Rainfall and water bodies such as rivers and lakes provide humans with clean water for drinking, cleaning, agriculture and recreational activities. Pollution of water supplies and population growth depletes aquifers leading to competition and waterborne diseases, especially in developing countries.

Climate patterns around the world influence human settlements. They live in conditions that favor their lifestyles and alter their clothing and housing in accordance with climate. In addition, extreme weather leads to sparsely populated areas and limit agricultural practices; for example, harsh and cold weather favor plants that can adapt to that environment.

Land formations such as mountains and hills shape transportation routes and networks, while the movement of tectonic plates on the Earth's surface sometimes causes hazards like earthquakes that destroy habitats, displace humans and affect the availability of water.

Fertile soil carries out numerous functions such as supporting life, recycling nutrients, regulating water and providing structural support for buildings. Humans extract minerals and perform recreational activities on the soil. Infertility creates deserts and leads to the migration of settlements.

A balanced ecosystem relates to better agricultural produce and less air pollution. Provision of food, safe water and clean air improves the well-being of living organisms.
