Interaction with Staten Island:

How did humans interact with the environment when the Staten Island Ferry was built?

- People riding on the Staten Island Ferry, don't change anything in the environment.

- This is an example of Dependency because the humans are interacting but not changing anything in the environment.

- When they built the ferry and the city received ownership of it in 1905, nothing in the environment was effected.

- No trees were cut down, no one had to adapt to the changes of the new ferry.

-Because none of that happened, we know this is an example of Dependency.

- Dependency is when there are no changes to the environment.

- So when the ferry was built, no changes were made to the environment.
