Landforms such as mountains, rivers, and deserts significantly influenced migration to the Americas by acting as natural barriers or corridors. For instance, the Andes mountains in South America could have hindered east-west migration, while the Bering Land Bridge allowed for easier access from Asia during periods of lower sea levels. Additionally, rivers often provided routes for travel and trade, facilitating movement and settlement. Overall, these geographical features shaped the patterns of human migration and the distribution of populations across the continent.

What if a huge mountain range ran east to west along the modern day border between the US and canada how might such a landform have affected migration to the americas?

The mountain range would act as a natural barrier, potentially hindering east-west migration in the Americas. It could funnel migration routes along specific passageways or force groups to settle and adapt to different environments on either side of the range. This could lead to the development of distinct cultures and societies in the regions separated by the mountain range.

Who you would call a migration expert would probably depend on which species migration you want information about. A person who specializes in, say, wolves and their migration might be totally different from aperson who specializes in the migration of, say, seagulls.


How was the migration of birds be affected if there were and are usually warm fall and winter?

If fall and winter temperatures are unusually warm, bird migration patterns could be disrupted. Many species rely on specific temperature cues to initiate their migration, so warmer conditions might lead to earlier departures or delays in migration. Additionally, food availability may shift, potentially causing birds to arrive at their destinations when resources are scarce. This can affect breeding success and overall population dynamics.


How does migration influence migration?

I think you typed one of the words wrong up there. Migration usually doesn't influence itself, but I suppose one animal's migration might trigger another one's if it's the right time of year for it.


Did the concept of god come from Ethiopia?

The concept of god seems to have arisen in different parts of the world, as animism evolved through shamanism to formal religions. We see gods in geographically isolated places from the ancient Americas to China. Ethiopia might have developed the concept of god, or might have received it by conquest, trade or migration from other regions.
