Geography
is very important to understanding culture.Places along the coast may have an oceangoing
culture.Fish might be a major part of their diet.Many ethnic Portuguese dishes use fish.Fish
also appears prominently in Thai and British cuisine.
Climate, as it relates
to geography, is also important for understanding a culture.Some places in Central and South
America have the siesta, a midday break, because it is too hot to do much
in the middle of the day.Most countries who are traditionally good at hockey are places with
cold winters. This is also true for other cold-weather sports, such as Alpine skiing.People from
cold-weather areas also wear heavier clothes than people from warm-weather areas who typically
only wear light textiles.
Geography can also affect the economy of a
region.Large-scale agriculture is common in the United States and Ukraine due to the fertility
of the soil there.Areas next to the coast are known for trade.Tokyo and London have taken
advantage...
