I was absent today and from the looks of it, we didn't go over any new content. If we did, I will gather that tomorrow.

An Essential Map Guide

Today we focused on the key question of what truly makes up Human Geography. It is incredible the depths you can go to while exploring each branch. First of all, Human Geography deals with the study of all aspects of life from the Environment all the way to the Economy of certain regions and countries. With that said, a point was made today that we can learn quite a lot by looking at thematic maps  which can chart anything about a general area such as it's average citizen energy use or maybe their calorie intake per day. By comparing certain areas you can sometimes see substantial differences which can assist in researching geographic issues such as an influx of population or even a lack of exercise. While thematic maps can be useful for gathering data, they may not give you the landscape or the climate of a general area as a Physical Map  would. Physical Maps are great for researching and discovering parts of either your region or world that you didn't know about. Last but...

A Pop Quiz

We had a Pop Quiz today in Western Civilization, this is not what I expected nor what I wanted. After the first quiz which I had planned for, Mr. Schick instantly pulled this next one out.

That concludes the February 4th Blog Post, Ti...

Review Redo!

-
Unlike others students, I began class with a second attempt at the Central, North, and South American country labeling quiz. I aced it the second time, though the same cannot be said for the first go!  As for the rest of class we reviewed some key questions that may be on the upcoming test (which i'm studying for quite a lot). We have really exaggerated gaining a deeper knowledge of Latitude and Longitude, mostly about how there's to be plenty of it on the test. I personally feel as if I've worked out a good way to remember and utilize the concept of latitude and longitude... mostly because I've practiced and have gone over plenty of maps throughout the course of a few years.  After rehearsing Latitude and Longitude, we worked on time zones and discussed even further the politics behind these "zones". I, along with others, were unaware there was such politics behind these incentives of moving towards a single time system . After some information on the ...
