What are some ways geography has shaped human history?
Greatly! All the first colonies formed by humans, and all the first civilizations in the Worlds history were founded near great rivers. Rivers provided water for drinking and irrigating fields, fish for food and great transportation methods. Sumer was founded between Euphrates and Tigris rivers, Egypt along Nile river, Indus culture around Indus and the first Chinese culture near the Yellow River. Woods offered some protection against enemy tribes, people hunted in the woods and wood was used for building. So the civilization needed river very near, wood quite near and later a place for rock somewhere near as well, when they started to make constructs from stone. Some natural barriers have helped a civilizations greatly, since they blocked enemies away. Ancient Egypt prospered so well and long, since it has Mediterranean Sea in it's north and vast deserts everywhere else around it. No army can survive in a desert for long. The Alps mountains range protected early Roman Republic from Celts and Carthaginians (Hannibal lost great amount of soldiers while crossing the Alps). Later Roman Empire used Danube and Rhine rivers to protect their borders from Germanic barbarians as well as Atlas Mountains in Sahara to protect their southern boundaries from berbers. Many nations and peoples from plain areas started to grow horses and become fearsome rider peoples, like Sarmatians, Scythians, Huns and Mongols. Huns and Mongols very almost able to conquer the whole Old World with their fast riding armies, but their empires collapsed after their charismatic leaders died. The environment has always shaped humans and cultures around it, different kind of environment created very different cultures all around the World. Desert people are used to hot and riding camels for long distance to collect their food and water, steppe nomads ride horses and are constantly moving people, mountains created rough peoples, as well as arctic areas, people living in those are harsh and used to cold and get along with the little food they can get. Field people grow large crops and build huge cities near rivers, island people and costal people are good sailors and make their living at seas and ports. Good environment is vital for a culture to succeed, even though humans can survive almost anywhere, there's a huge difference where can a great civilization take place.
How to Compare and contrast between spring in USA and spring in Egypt?
Comparing and contrasting spring in the USA and spring in Egypt reveals some interesting differences. In the USA spring is typically associated with warmer temperatures and blooming flowers. It is a time of rebirth and renewal as the temperatures start to climb and the days get longer. In contrast spring in Egypt is much hotter than it is in the USA. It is generally a dry season with little rainfall and temperatures can reach up to 40C (104F). The blooming of flowers is not as prevalent as it is in the USA but instead the desert blooms with wildflowers. In terms of activities the USA is known for its various spring festivals such as the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. the Tulip Festival in Oregon and the Daffodil Festival in Delaware. In Egypt spring is a time to celebrate the ancient Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr. It is also a time to enjoy outdoor activities such as camel riding and desert safaris. In terms of nature the USA experiences a variety of wildlife during the spring season with birds migrating and animals coming out of hibernation. In Egypt the wildlife is not as varied but the landscapes are still beautiful with the desert blooming with wildflowers. Overall spring in the USA and spring in Egypt each have their own unique characteristics. In the USA it is a time of rebirth and renewal while in Egypt it is a time of celebration and outdoor activities. Both countries offer beautiful landscapes but the USA offers a more varied wildlife.
Whats the difference between the countryside and a city?
Everything always has two sides: the front side and the back side, or the positive and negative one. And so does living in a city or living in a countryside. While people living in a city enjoy job opportunities and convenient services of trade, health and entertainment, people living in a countryside gain a better living environment. For one thing, people move to a city for job. A big city usually offers more jobs than a countryside does. In a countryside, most people do farming which is seasonal. In Mekong delta, for example, farmers usually do two crops a year: the Summer-Autumn crop and the Winter-Spring crop. Between them is a gap when they are suppose to do nothing, especially when the flood is coming. In addition, not everyone has fields to cope with. These people have to wait for someone hiring them to do something, and of course, it's unstable. On the other hand, it's not too difficult for one to earn a living in a city. For ones who have not got a certificate, there is still work for them such as riding a pedicab, being a porter at coach station or harbor, or selling something that does not need a big capital. For ones with degrees, a big city is the place for them, of course. This is because a lot of offices, companies, factories, groups… are located in big cities, not only the internal ones but also the ones coming from many countries over the world, not only the state-owned ones but also the private ones. In Ho Chi Minh city, for instance, ChoRay hospital, Sacombank, Vietnam Airlines, National University, VUS, etc. always attract masters, doctors, engineers and bachelors. In addition to job offering, people who live in a big city also enjoy a more convenient and perfect services of trade, health, and entertainment than those in a countryside. In a countryside, people usually have to cover a long distance to get things in the local market which is poor in products. Also, it is time-consuming for them to have a health care, especially for those who can only travel by boat. Moreover, they rarely watch a movie in a cinema, simply because there is no cinema there. On the other hand, people who live in a city can freely choose products from a super market not far away from their homes. Coop Mart, a supermarket with several branches over HoChiMinh city, has became a popular address for many housewives. Also, most best and well-equipped hospitals are located in big cities, such as ChoRay, BinhDan, TuDu, SungChinh, Saint point, and so on. Recently, people in HoChiMinh city can enjoy 4D movie, which can "bring" watchers into the scene as chairs in this cinema can move backward and forward accordingly to what are happening in the movie. However, big cities are not the heaven. People living there have to suffer from many kinds of pollution. Tracks, buses, taxis, motorbikes, etc. cause not only air pollution but noise pollution as well. More over, waste without treatment from factories make water polluted. Saigon, Thi Vai rivers are on the edge of danger as Tuoi Tre paper showed recently. Traffic jam is another problem. It is not only a waste of time but also harmful for health. Slowly moving meter by meter in the street at rushing hours, urban people not only have to breath the smoke from vehicles but also have to bear the roar from them. People living in a countryside, on the other hand, gain a better living environment. They enjoy fresh air and water. Trees and bushes around always make their lives "green". They do not have to face traffic jam as there is little traffic there. Instead, they enjoy beautiful landscape and a peaceful atmosphere, which is useful for health, particularly for the elderly. Another thing which also belongs to good living environment in a countryside is the good relationship between people. While urban people sometimes do not know the name of the next door, rural people share their lives in many aspects. They work for exchange in crops. They spend several days on wedding or funeral of the neighbor's relatives. They meet each other regularly in death ceremonies, or even in baby's one month old party. So, where do you prefer to live in, a city or a countryside? There is no perfect answer, I guess. To me, I would work in HoChiMinh city at weekdays to earn a living and to enjoy the perfect services there. Then, on weekends, I would return to my homeland, a countryside, to get the wild wind during my fishing, and enjoy a drink with my friends from the childhood.

This all depends on the riding you plan on doing. If you skateboard you can pick vert or street; longboarding has downhill and sliding.
