Land - Division
Farming
In order to use the land wisely farmers usually do not plant only one crop. At the end of the season the farmer will usually either plant another crop that will help the soil or they will let the soil grow over with grass. Also, farmers use their land for crops, homestead, and animals.

Architecture Reflects Cultures Around the World
India
Taj Mahal
Architecture in India was greatly influenced by the cultures in Europe and America. The use of similiar structures and archways were similar, but to take the heat better there are fewer doors and more curtains.
Italy
Urban Italy
Italy was greatly influenced by the Roman Empire, Greek, Arabic, and other neighboring countries because it is in a peninsula. Since Italians tend to be with their large families most of the time, the houses and towns tend to be clustered together with large public gathering spaces.
Australia
Sydney Opera House
Australia is usually hot and rainy, and the houses and government buildings needed to protect the people from the heat and rain. As time went on the architecture was created to provide ventilation, airways, and runoff of the rainwater.
