Answer

Answer:

The satellite photo shows that people have greatly changed the environment in this part of Boston. Many buildings have been constructed close together where natural land may once have been. Wide roads and elevated routes cut through the area to help people travel. Large paved parking lots provide space for cars. A baseball stadium has also been built, with a playing field and seating for spectators. These buildings, roads, and paved surfaces have replaced or covered much of the original land.
