The correct answer is Option (1) → Humanisation of nature
- Humanization of nature, also known as "human adaptation to the environment," is a concept in geography a that describes how humans modify and adapt their environment to make it more suitable for comfortable and sustainable living. It acknowledges that the people begin to understand their environment and the forces of nature with the passage of time. With social and cultural development, humans develop better and more efficient technology. They move from a state of necessity to a state of freedom. They create possibilities with the resources obtained from the environment. The human activities create cultural landscape. The imprints of human activities are created everywhere; health resorts on highlands, huge urban sprawls, fields, orchards and pastures in plains and rolling hills, ports on the coasts, oceanic routes on the oceanic surface and satellites in the space. The earlier scholars termed this as possibilism. Nature provides opportunities and human being make use of these and slowly nature gets humanised and starts bearing the imprints of human endeavour.
- These modifications allow people to thrive in a wide range of climates and landscapes. This adaptation to very cold areas through the use of artificial heating and related strategies allows people to live and work comfortably, irrespective of the challenges posed by the climate.
