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.
