Answer to Question 1

Latin America is composed of a diversity of environmental regions, including mountainous highlands, vast upland plateaus, low coastal areas, and river valleys. Historically, settlement has been concentrated in the interior uplands and coastal regions; recently, settlement has taken place in riverine environments. Human adaptation and modification are especially notable in the highland areas, as agricultural practices have been adapted to altitudinal zonation.
