The Galapagos Islands are considered one of the Natural wonders of the World and the main tourist destination of Ecuador. Near to the Galapagos are also a set of hydrothermal vents, which are amongst the Underwater Wonders, because of the unique ecosystems that they sustain.
Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of bananas and plantains (about $2 billion) and a major exporter of shrimp ($828 million) and cacao ($402 million).
Geography has an impact on how people live from the resources they have access to to how they move through the world. Their history, risks and comfort are all determined by where they sit on the map.
1. It impacts the resources you have access to (and their quality)
2. It determines how you (and goods) travel
3. It influences your culture: Nature has long since been a source of inspiration for poets, writers, songwriters and artists throughout history, and the products of their creativity often become a lasting part of our culture.
4. It might put you at risk or keep you safe: Depending on where you live, you may be aware of geographic risks that a person in another country may not ever face (e.g.tsunamis in Thailand, avalanches in Switzerland, droughts in the Middle East) The risk of natural disasters also impacts creativity and development -- like a new building technology developed in Japan to stop buildings from crumbling in earthquakes.
5. It can often determine your history : If you live in a country that has natural resources like oil, diamonds, copper, cobalt, for example, chances are other countries want those resources too. Often this can be the difference between living in a peaceful nation and surviving a war.
