This is likely Japan because of the wide-open, grassy fields.
This is likely Mongolia because the culture has a long history of nomadic life.

The world's population is growing at a faster rate than China.
The populations of both China and the world are growing at a similar rate.
One way that both China and Japan have modified the environment has been by building
infrastructure needed to —
bring water to remote villages
manage pollution created by industry
repair damage done by volcanic activity
supply energy to large, growing populations

Industrial waste pollution in western China
Dry, rough terrain in large portions of western China
Government planning restricting farm development to the eastern China
Which effect will likely result from the pattern of development shown on the map above?
Air quality in China will improve in the coming years.
Taxes will increase in regions where airports are built.
Trade, commerce, and connections across China will increase.
Pressure on the Chinese government to allow democratic participation will increase.

The dam is an engineering marvel, but it has been very costly with unintended side-effects.
How does the engineering project in the photograph enable Japan to adapt to its environment?
