The perfect place to settle would be in a valley nearby a lake or river. First, the valley would have plants and is close to a source of fresh water. Also, the plants would be edible and I could use the water to irrigate crops, fish, clean, cook, and drink. Furthermore, I could build a shelter, tools, paper, ropes, and medicine out of the plants. In conclusion, being in a valley close to a lake or river would have many great advantages.

I think a good place to settle would be by a river in the plains. First, the river would provide water for the settlers.Water can be used for traveling, irrigation, and it will provide fertile soil. Second, plains are a good place for farming. They are also a good place to find vegetation. We can use vegetation to make medicine, baskets, rope, tools, and paper. Some plants are also a good food source. In conclusion, a river is a very good place to settle. The water, topography, and vegetation are very important environmental factors.

I believe the perfect place to settle would be in a valley. I think the valley is a nice place to settle because the soil is rich enough to grow crops, soil like this is very good for growing crops.it has great water that flows up against the cost such as rivers and lakes. This type of water provides us with fresh water. This type of water is good for cooking, drinking and even transportation. This type of land also has great vegetation there is enough to grow crops when there is a flood. This type of vegetation helps make tools shelter and medicine. this is what makes good place to stay.Valleys are a great place to settle in and grow crops.

The perfect place to settle would be a costal plain. In a costal plain there will be fresh water, good topography, and great vegetation. First water is really important. In a costal plain there will be fresh water. Fresh water is really important because farmers need it to grow crops and fishers need to fish for food. Also topography is very crucial for farming and shelter. On a mountain farming would be hard and making a shelter even harder because the mountain would be steep and rocky. In a costal plain both is possible. Furthermore vegetation is important for many things like food, medicine, tools, and shade. Vegetation needs both good topography and fresh water. In a costal plain there will be both. As a result I think that a costal plain is the most beneficial place to settle.

The perfect place to settle would be in the plains. First, the water in the plains is fresh clean water. You can irrate crops, go fishing, clean, cook, with it place on a canoe or boat. Also, the topograhy has enough space to plant any-thing. Furthermore, the vegetation on the on the plain are trees, bushes, flower, grass, reeds,and crops. When you plant the vegetation, it has to need regular rain and/or fresh water. The plants can be made into medicine, baskets, rope, tools, paper, into foodsource, shelter, decorations and shade. As a result, this is how I found my place to settle, by following 3 steps: first step is checking for fresh or salty water. 2nd step is topography what I/you want. Lastly is step 3; vegetation and what you want to make it into to make it useful again

I think the perfect to live would be Geotopia. It would have river, lakes and seas. I would use the fresh water from the rivers and the lakes for drinking, bathing, irrigation, and as a food source because of the animals that go there to take a drink and the fish that swim there. I would use the seas for transportation, which leads to trade, and also as a food source. It would be all plains so I can have an open range for agriculture. It would also be costal plains because of the fertile soil near the river. It would have lots and lots of flowers and grass and trees and edible food for decoration and as a food source. To sum up, I think the perfect place to live is Geotopia.

A perfect place to settle would be near a river with a forest. First, near a river because you would able to farm and fish because it is a water source with living things. Also, near a forest because you would need wood to make homes/shelters, and tools. Furthermore, it would be beneficial because to humans because the water provides food, transportation, trade, and to clean and cook. Hence the topography of the area would be a costal plain so it would be easy to irrigate and farm. In conclusion that is why it would be best to settle near a river with woods.

The perfect place to settle would be in the plains because it has all the three environmental factors. First, river plains provide water. With water I could drink, clean, have a food source, travel, and grow crops. Also plains provide space for farming. With the fresh water I could grow crops. When you could grow crops you could eat. Plains are an example of topography. As a result plains are the perfect place to live. It has all the environmental factors.

I have found the perfect place to settle! First, this place has a river which has fresh water. You could use fresh water to irrigate crops and fish. Also, my area will have a valley. Having a valley will allow me to farm. Furthermore, there will be a lot of vegetation in the area. With a bunch of plant life I can make baskets, rope, and eat. As a result of living here, I have the perfect water source, topography, and vegetation, better know as the 3 environmental factors. Without them, I wouldn’t be complete.

The most perfect place to settle is in a valley. Living in a valley provides fresh water that could be used for drinking, transportation which leads to trading. You could also us the water for cooking, bathing, farming irrigation and fishing or a food source. Another reason why living in a valley is perfect is because we would have a lot of space to plant crops and establish a community or home. The type of topography we would find in a valley is plains. An example of vegetation you would find there would be flowers, bushes, trees, grass and reeds. You could use grass, bushes and wood from trees to build a home. You could use the flowers to decorate all sorts of places and to make beautiful baskets to carry things in. In conclusion living in a valley would be the best place to settle and survive. Living in a valley and trying to survive reminds be of the hunger games because they use their surroundings to survive.

Where would be the perfect place to live? What kind of water and vegetation would be there? The perfect place to live would be in Egypt. Egypt would be the perfect place to live because it has the Libyan Desert, Nubian Desert, and the Arabian Desert. Egypt also has the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Jordan River and the Nile River. In Egypt the Nile River would be great for farming because there’s fresh water and in case the Nile river flood it will leave left over silt { dead fish and dead skin} which is great for crops. By the seas it won’t be a great place to farm but it will be a great place for transportation and fishing.

The Jordan River wouldn’t flood as much as the Nile River and it wouldn’t have as much silt there. By the seas it won’t be a great place to farm but it will be a great place for transportation and fishing. Also the desert wouldn’t be a great place to farm because of its climate. In the morning it hot and humid and at night it is very cold.

I think the perfect place to settle would have fresh and salt water, flat land, and a variety of vegetation. First, the water is fresh and it would also have a sea because they both have benefits. Salt water has a lot of marine life and it can be a huge source of food. Fresh water can be used for irrigating crops, fishing, cleaning, drinking, and transportation. Also, water can have mild flooding that keeps the land fertile. The water also affects topography. I would have plains and valleys because they have really god qualities for vegetation. The vegetation will provide food, medicine, paper, and other important technology. Furthermore, the fresh water will attract more vegetation. The vegetation will grow on the plains and valleys to make a perfect place to settle. In conclusion, my judgment of a perfect place to settle will attract many people. The variety of vegetation and topography will make it very resourceful. Also, having two water types can make a better food supply and having a way to transport or trade. As a result, I will attract many people with my thought of a perfect place.

The best place to settle is in a River valley. One reason why it is a place to settle is their fresh water. Also it is good to live near the water because you can trade, source of food, transportation and etc. Another reason is there are plants and where plant is there is food. Plants also make medicine for the people that are weak. Last reason is there could be animals living in the valleys so you could eat. In the world there are people that live in the valleys. I think they lived near the river so they can drink, bathing and etc.

The perfect place to settle is a river. I think the reason the perfect place to settle is a river is because it is good area for planting. Also a river is the best place to settle is because if it floods there is good soil left over and it that soil is good for vegetation. Also it is good to settle in a river because there’s a source of food. Also it is good to settle at a river because you could make baskets, medicine, transportation which leads to trade. Finally the reason why I think a good place to settle is a river because you could share your religion and language.

Let’s say we were stranded on some weird planet. How would we survive? Or where would we settle? The perfect place to settle would be near a river because more plants grow there and a desert for protection from invaders, or a valley because of the water sometimes it’s more fresh witch benefits people in many ways but the benefits are just the same as a river. If it were me on that weird planet I would choose to live near a desert and a river. The benefits of living near a river are vegetation, fresh water (sometimes). Those benefits allow us to eat, bathe, drink, cook, and if possible trade. Also since plants need good minerals to grow or sprout a river is your best friend. After a river floods it leaves behind something called silt witch contains fertile minerals that plants crave. If this was true the river would be probably my thing I could rely on for my survival
