Geographic Influences in North America

Question 9 • 2026_SUMMER 305_CR_2106010-M/J Civics A

Which best describes how access to natural resources in North America contributed to cultural diffusion?

Answer
A
As countries traded and sold their natural resources, they grew wealthier.
B
As people migrated to find natural resources, they brought their ideas and culture with them.
C
After creating settlements, people began looking for available natural resources.
D
After discovering natural resources, nations decided what goods and services to produce.

Explanation

Cultural diffusion happens when ideas and customs spread between groups. When people moved to find natural resources, they carried their ideas and culture to new places, where they could interact with other groups. This makes B, “As people migrated to find natural resources, they brought their ideas and culture with them,” the best description. Trading resources may increase wealth, but it does not directly describe how culture spreads.
