    rebuilt their homes each year, after the annual flooding. As time went on, they

    built irrigation ditches to help water the crops. In modern times, Egypt built a

    goods affect your
    country?

    Movement refers to the way people, products, information and ideas move from
    one place to another. This can be local such as how did you get to school today,
    or it can be global such as how did humans get to North America?

    Regions:

    How does the


    region of your
    country affect its
    citizens?

    A region is an area that is defined by certain similar characteristics. Those


    unifying or similar characteristics can be physical, natural, human, or cultural.
