My New Settlement

Topography
Peninsula
I would look for a peninsula for my new settlement because the peninsula is near the sea, it must have plentiful of sea sources such as fishes, shells, sea birds... And people could hunt them for food. The peninsula is more than 3 sides reach the sea, it is also easy for traveling, people can make boats and ships to visit family and go to another land and go trading with other people. This is very helpful for advancing economy and religion. Another good thing is that the peninsula is still connecting with the mainland. Then it can advance with main land together.

Plains
I will also look for a plain for my settlement. Plain is a big and flat area that almost only grass grows on it, so we could use the plain as the farm and grow crops on it. Then we will have a stable food supply! The people can having food that are not import from other country.

Water
Ocean
I will look for a place that have a ocean around it because
the ocean is so important to humans! First, ocean provides food: shells, fishes, crabs... all of them you can find in ocean. Second, the ocean around the whole planet so that we can travel by boat or ship in water to visit family, travel to anywhere you want, and also trade with other people. It helps a lot on economy and religion. The ocean gives humans a lot but we can't drink sea water, because it's salty and bitter, drink sea water only can make you need more water.

Spring
I said that the ocean water cannot drink, but spring can. The spring can be a healthy drinking because it already filtered by the layers of ground, and it also have the minerals in the ground. It also can be used for farming (irrigate the crops). Don't worry the spring will gone after using it, when it's raining, the rain will go into deep of the ground and fill in the spring, but we still cannot use spring too much because if we use too much spring, the ground will crash because there's nothing to support the ground, the sea water will also coming and make the spring salty and unable to drink.

Vege
tation
Mangroves
The mangroves are the most important vegetation I think. Because first, they can produce oxygen, they filter the CO2 to the oxygen which all humans need to survive. Second, the mangroves can produce food. Human can't eat mangroves but humans can eat the the animals that live in the mangroves like: crabs, lizards, birds... Third, mangroves can prevent flooding and tsunami. The mangroves grows cross together like a wall to protect flooding and tsunami perfectly, and their roots grows in ground very deep like anchor so that the soil will never lose when flooding.

Forests

The forests are also important factor that humans, same as the mangroves, the forests can also produce oxygen, produce food (well, the animals that living in the forest are little different than the animals that living in the mangroves: tigers, boars...) . But, there are still some difference between the forests and mangroves: the forests can provide wood, humans can make tools, boats, baskets from the wood. Humans can make fire with wood.
