The 5 themes of Geography Why is each place on Earth unique? Each place has different features needed for living that's why it's hard to pick a place to settle in. Place refers to the physical and human aspects of a location. The toponym is the name of a place. Site is the physical features of a place which determines if a place has the resources you need. Situation is the environmental conditions of a place and where it's located in relation to other places. Geographers use site, situation and toponym to describe location. Using site and situation for our mapping worksheet, I chose E for 1. E had the best location site wise, it had access to all the best resources needed for living. For 2 I chose C because it is in the middle of all the other places which is most convenient for trading purposes. For 3 I chose E even though it's not the easiest for trading purposes it has the most and best resources surrounding it. For 4 I chose A...
Today in class we took a test on population, population pyramids and migration. I remembered to look over all my notes last night and this morning Mr. Schick gave us time in class to study some more. So I watched the video on population pyramids which I'm really glad I did. Right before we took the test Mr. Schick told us we would need to identify specific countries which I am not good at doing so I tried to learn those quickly. There we a couple questions on the test having to do with specific countries and continents that I don't think I got right. I don't think it was too hard of a test I'm just not good at knowing a specific countries population growth and that type of stuff. The test was 40 questions. I think I got probably like a 34 out of 40. I am sure I didn't get higher than that, I'm thinking I got a B which I would be ok with.
In todays class we went over the blog post that was yesterday's classwork and last nights homework. We also had a discussion about several things in between. We talked about how Luxembourg is one of the most wealthiest countries in the world. It's ranked fifth out of all countries in GDP per capita (ppp). Luxembourg is not in any debt, whatsoever. In fact, they have a surplus of money to spend! They're neighboring countries and Germany, Belgium, and France. We talked about how America has a wider range of ethnicities living here than most other countries do. I also learned that about 98% of Mexicans are Roman Catholics and only about 20% of Americans are Roman Catholics. We have a quiz coming up on Friday and I'm not as confident as I was for the last one. I think I'll do okay on it but I definitely need to start studying now to be ready for it.
