Culture related to the environment

Every sociocultural system exists in a natural habitat and the environment exerts an influence upon the cultural system. The environment permits, at times encourages and also prohibits the acquisition or use of certain cultural traits but otherwise does not determine culture change. The introduction of the horse in certain cultures for example made great changes like power and speed. If the culture lives near the ocean or in the mountain, these, will exert an influence on how they dress or what they eat.
