in class today we started to learn about world regions. we leaned that regions are highly contested yet important concept in the study of human geography and can be studied as they relate to space, place , and location. regions allow us to generalize about common characteristics so we can better group them. a formal region is an area with high level of consistency in a certain cultural or physical attribute. also uniform or homogeneous areas where everyone in that region shares common attributes or traits like language , climate , or political system. formal regions are primarily used to determine and outline political , cultural , and economic regions. lastly we started to label the regions on a map. we learned important questions that we will learn to answer. how do geographers describe where tings are? why is each point on Earth unique? why are different places similar? why are some actions unsustainable?

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.

today in class we continued to learn about population and settlement. we learned about life expectancy. life expectancy means the average number of years believed by a group of people born in the same year. some examples are, the highest is in Monaco, 89.52 total- 85.63 men and 95.58 women. U.S. #42 79.68 total- 77.32 men and 81.97 women. lowest Chad 49.81 total- 48.64 men and 51.03 women. we also learned about crude birth rate, which means the number of births per 1,000 of the population. Also we learned about the crude death rate, which means the number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. we learned about rate of natural increase which is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. this gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage form-for a country or region. the net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. an excess of persons entering the country is net immigration. this is written as a...
