BIOREGIONS – ANTHROPOLOGY…

and of course, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

LINKS to the four maps that summarize Utah's REGIONS based on

GEOSPHERE

HYDROSPHERE

ATMOSPHERE

BIOSPHERE and Ecoregions summarized on DEM

 

Can you explore this for diverse counties in Utah?

 

Connect the dots… how might the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere have influenced lifestyles of peoples of Utah 12,000 – 500 years ago (pre-introduction of horses)
