today in class we all came up with questions that could be on the test. One question was why do US companies make their products over seas? I believe they make them over seas because there isn't minimum wages and you can pay a person way less than you have to in the US. Another question was Peter vs. Mercator map. the difference is the peter map is more accurate in the real size of all the areas then the Mercator map. Also they asked about the saying think global act local. this can be a good and helpful thing if everyone does it and an example might be you grow your own vegetables so you don't have to drive to the store and have the gas go into the air. we also talked about time zones. time zones are important so you know what's going on and the time of day in a new area you go. your circadian cycle is your biological sleeping schedule. there are 27 time zones around the world. what 3 countries have the largest population. they are China, India, and US. the prime meridian goes through Greenwich. it is important for geographers to learn about the culture of an area because a lot of the time the culture is effected by the geography of the land like how flat it is, if its by water, and if there is a lot of vegetation. globalization is important because it can effect the economic synergy of an area by the small companies of the area being able to trade with international companies making a larger profit. Sr Sanford Fleming wanted there to be one constant time all around the whole world.US official language there isn't one. there where a lot of good questions we came up with in class.

today in class we took a test about excellence, Greeks, and a message to Garcia. before we took the test I wish I would have looked at the message to Garcia vocabulary more because I had trouble on those questions. I was very confident on the rest of the questions. also I couldn't remember how to spell what Socrates was put to death with. I liked how one of the essay questions was about my opinion Socrates. I was confident also on the questions about Socrates and his trial and what the Socratic method is. Socrates was a very good person who believed strongly in what he did for a living and died for it. if I was in his position I would have said what ever I needed to not to be killed. I liked how we went over the questions we thought where going to be on the quiz and that we thought should be on the quiz. it helped a lot with what I needed to study and it made me feel good about taking the test because , I knew what was going to be on it so I was very prepared besides a couple of vo...

situation

today in class we finished going over site. I learned that site characteristics are important. For example its important if there is mountains if you want to build a house because you will want the ground to be level if your building homes. Also I learned that people can change the site. For example you can fill a river with land and other things and make more land so you can build more things and develop new land. Lastly we learned that areas are being built on so much that they are flooding because there isn't enough grass and enough drainage for the water to go when it rains a lot or there is a hurricane. Next we learned about situation. Situation means the location of a place relative to other places. Situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one. For example a lot of people have been to Florida and they know that it is really hot and then it rains for about an hour and then stops , but not a lot of people have been too Mississippi bu...
