Geographical Factors

Learn about the wetlands and deserts.

Wetlands
Wetlands give some animals homes and resources as well as us. We get some water from the wetlands. Animals also use it to get food.

Deserts
A desert doesn't give many resources at all. However, if you are stranded in a desert it gives a little shelter and water in cactuses.

Integrating Cultures
Intergrating these cultures would be hard because they are completely different. One had enough resources for you to stay living and in the other you must be lucky to survive.
