human environment interaction
Humans interact with the environment in 3 ways (MAD): modify, adapt and depend.

How we modify the environment:
Its the way people change their environment to suit themselves.
This image shows a building, that was built and changed the environment for example.

How we adapt to the environment:
It is the way humans change to suit their environment. A good example is wearing sunglasses, like in this image. We can adapt and reduce the damage to our eyes and improve our visibility in a very sunny day.

How we depend on the environment
It is when people depend on their environment for something.
For example, in this image, this tree could be cut down and use it for firewood and that's one way we could depend on a part of our environment.

Movement is how people, good and ideas move between places.
This image is an example of movement of ideas. The movement of ideas can be via e-mail, internet, phone or letters. So when we are using our computers, we are contributing to the movement of ideas somehow.

region

Regions are areas that can be grouped together by a set of special to that region. For example, we have countries, rules by governments, areas speaking the same language and there are areas served by a particular service, such as in this image, a school district.
A school has certain rules, and we have to speak a common language which is english. In other words, we can say that QMS is a region.
