Adapt: In the summer Illinois goes to Lake
Michigan to cool off. In the winter we dress
warmer and stay indoors.
Modify: Bridges were built over the Chicago
river, Mississippi river, Kankakee river, and the
Des Plaines river to connect the land to help with
importing and exporting from region to region.
Interstates such as I-55, I-51, I-90 were also
built to help with the transportation of goods.

13. Human/EnvironmentInteraction
Depend: the majority of the population in
Illinois depend on Lake Michigan for
drinking water. Grow crops like soybeans
and corn.
Minerals, petroleum, lead, fluorite, and
coal are some natural resources.
