Yusef believes that the reason his town is a very friendly community is because it is situated in a valley, making it more difficult to travel in and out. He thinks the cultural characteristics arise out of the natural geography. What theory is Yusef’s idea MOST aligned with?
I'm not sure if there are options or what theories you have recently studied, but out of them all I would have to say Cultural geography - though it's on the border of being a theory and a study.
