Question

Answer questions using island. 

**Settlement:** Consider the features and processes to decide the best sites for a port and for a settlement. On the map, write the letter (P) for the best site for a port and (S) for the best site for a settlement. There is not a single best choice. *Describe your reasoning and defend your choice.* The image shows a detailed 3D rendering of an island with varied topography. The island appears to have: - Coastal areas suitable for ports, likely located where waterways meet the ocean. - Diverse landscapes, including plains, mountains, and possibly river systems. - Areas that might be optimal for settlements, considering access to resources, safety from natural hazards, and transportation routes. Deciding on the best sites involves assessing these elements and justifying the selection based on features that would support human habitation and trade.
