- SS12.5.2Describe regionalization and analyze how physical characteristics distinguish a place, influence human trends, political and economic development, and solve immediate and long-range problems.
- SS12.5.3Analyze, interpret, and evaluate how conflict, demographics, movement, trade, transportation, communication, and technology affect humans’ sense of place.

- SS8.5.3aExplain how the migration and settlement patterns of indigenous tribes influence place (e.g., migration of pre-Columbian Tribes, and reservation movement).
- SS8.5.4Analyze the changes to and consequences of human, natural, and technological impacts on the physical environment.
