today we had a sub, so we did work on our laptops. We took notes on the information on the blog. I learned that contemporary geographers offer a different version of the phrase "think and act both global and local". I also learned all scales from local to global are important in geography. Contemporary geography matters because it can explain human actions at all scales. At national and international scales, geography is concerned with rapid population growth. Lastly I learned about Globalization. One definition of globalization is extending to other or all parts of the world. Another definition is worldwide integration and development.

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...
