Give two examples of physical geography, two examples of human geography, and two examples of natural history associated with the place you live.

I live in the suburban area of St. Louis, Missouri. Physical geography: we have a lot of trees, we have the Meramec River nearby that has and can flood in torrential rain periods.
Human Geography: There are a number of individual farms that grow fruits and raise animals for meat. We have the option of contacting these farms to buy directly, however I am lazy and buy at the local Fresh Thyme store. Individual homesteads have their own hens to lay eggs. I buy some from a friend who has hens.
Natural History: We have beautiful flowering fruit trees, in the spring you can see the daffodils coming out early. We have lots of wooded areas with wildlife such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, bobcats, owls, and hawks to name a few. -
Physical Geography in TN includes tree lined hills and snaking rivers.
Human geography in the Nashville area include bridges spanning large areas, and wealthy homes in desirable hill country with perfect views.
Natural History encompasses loud finches that song well before the sun comes up, and deer which are a regular hazard and nuisance for humans, but their natural habitat has been invaded. -
I live in TX. Here it is extremely hot during the summer. Depending upon which part of the state you live in though, the landscape will be a little different. In the western part of the state, in El Paso, it is very hot and dry with very little rainfall or precipitation. So you have a desert climate there. In the north central part of Texas in the Dallas area, there are more storms and precipitation so the landscape tends to be more green. In the central part of Texas it is a combo. During the summer it can be really hot and dry, but in the spring and winter, there can be some rain and snow, and even severe storms. If you live on the southern coast of TX, you get to experience the ocean and beaches.
Texas is considered a southern state, so is often equated with country people, but there is actually a variety of cultures in the state. There seems to be an increase in the use of solar panels in the region I live. We have a lot of Tex-Mex food here and BBQ.
There are a lot of cattle on the landscape here. Other animals include deer and vultures. Depending upon which region you live in Texas will determine what kind of plants you see. There are cactus in the dryer regions, but one of the most beloved flowers is the bluebonnet, which is the state flower.
