Answer
The people begin to understand their environment and the forces of nature with the passage of time.
With social and cultural development, humans develop better and more efficient technology.
They move from a state of necessity to a state of freedom.
They create possibilities with the resources obtained from the environment.
Nature provides opportunities and human beings make use of these and slowly nature gets humanised and starts bearing the imprints of human efforts and skills.
Examples are: the imprints of human activities are created everywhere - health resorts on highlands, huge urban sprawls, field, orchards and pastures in plains and rolling hills, ports on the coasts, oceanic routes on the oceanic surface and satellites in the space.
