JC Human Geography

Today in class we watched a video by Hans Rosling it was about the last 200 years in a four minute video. Hans teaches global health in this video Hans animates data in real space. The chart measured life span in years, and income it ranged from poor and sick to rich and healthy. In 1840 the populations life expectancy was 40 years old. UK had a higher life span and income in 1840 because they learned how to mass produce products first. As the years go by some countries make more income and have higher life expectancy because they are getting better health care and are able to produce products faster.

today in class we learned about the population pyramid. On the pyramid the men are always on the left side and the women are always on the right and the young are always on the bottom and the old are on the top with a five year interval between each age. pre reproductive years 10-14 5-9 0-4 reproductive years  40-44 35-39 30-34 25-29 20-24 15-19 post reproductive years  45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-89 90-94 95-99 100+

Today in class we learned about the population pyramid. It is a type of chart that measures and shows the percentage and how many of a people in a certain age group and gender group there are in the world or in a country. This could be useful if you wanted to see how many 10-14 year old's there are in the U.S. This chart is separated into three sections young/kids, middle age, and old age. We also got our population tests back I got a 87 on it I am pretty happy with that grade. I only got four wrong which is not bad.

Today we had a test population it covered Crude Death Rate, Total Fertility Rate, Crude Birth Rate, Unemployment Rate Net Migration Rate, Population Growth Rate, Infant mortality Rate, Maternal Mortality Rate, Rate of Natural Increase, Life Expectancy, GDP Per Capita, and Population Pyramid. There was also some questions using the CIA fact book and naming two countries that have push and pull forces and why there was also some math with population. I think the test was pretty easy and that I did well on it. 

Today in class we went over what is going to be on the test on Friday. The test is going to be one hundred points and about thirty questions. Some of the things that are going on the test are twelve questions on the CIA fact book some matching questions on some important terms  Crude Death Rate, Total Fertility Rate,  C rude Birth Rate,  Unemployment Rate, Net Migration Rate, Population Growth Rate, Infant Mortality Rate, Maternal Mortality Rate,   Rate of Natural Increase Life Expectancy , GDP Per Capita , and Population Pyramid. We are also going to have questions on life expectancy, crude birth and death rate of natural increase, measuring math, measurements of population, push and pull forces and naming two countries that have them and why and this will be four questions.

Today we reviewed the CIA fact book questions. What is the population of China, and of India?  -china's population is 1,384,688,986 and India is 1,296,834,04 What is the Total Fertility Rate in Japan? -Japans total fertility rate is 1.42 children born/women  What is the death rate in El Salvador? - 5.8 deaths/1,000 population  What percentage of the French identify “none” as their religion? Is this statistic verifiable, and why? 23-28%   note:  France maintains a tradition of secularism and has not officially collected data on religious affiliation since the 1872 national census, which complicates assessments of France's religious composition; an 1872 law prohibiting state authorities from collecting data on individuals' ethnicity or religious beliefs was reaffirmed by a 1978 law emphasizing the prohibition of the collection or exploitation of personal data revealing an individual's race, ethnicity, or political, philosophical, or religious opinions;

today in class we talked more about population. We talked about birth death rates and life expectancy. we talked about how chad has the least life expectancy with about 49.81 total and Mercado with 89.52 total the reason for the life expectancy to be so high or so low is because of living conditions chad does not have good health care safety while Mercado has good health care safety food and water. We also talked about why birth and death rates are higher or lower in some places like japan has a high death rate but a low birth rate people are dying faster than people are born. 

Today in class we went over the geography test. I did not do so good on it some of the answers I got wrong were What was not included in the first world map the answer was the Americas and what is the most popular style of map in American classrooms is the Mercator map. The line found at 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian and the line at 0 degrees latitude is the equator. The name of the arcs drawn between the North and South poles are Meridians the name for the lines drawn equally distant from the equator are Parallels. Greenwich Mean Time is NOT established at the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator. Bel Air, Maryland is two hours behind California. 

Today in class we learned about population. There are 7.5 billion on the planet right now and increasing by 73 million per year that is approximately 200,00 people per day which is 8377 people per hour. 90% of this population takes place in developing countries like Africa, South and East Asia, and Latin America. The average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. High: Monaco (89.52 total: 85.63 men, 81.97 women). #42: U.S. (79.88 total: 77.32 men, 81.97 women). Low: Chad (49.81 total: 48.64 men, 51.03 women). Crude birth rate: number of births per 1,000 of the population. Crude death rate: number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. Rate of natural increase (RNI). produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate this gives us the annual natural growth rate- in percentage form- for a country region. Net Migration: the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country in a year. an excess of persons entering the

Today we had a test on maps. It was not to hard because we were allowed to use our blogs to help us there were some things I did not know because I did not have them on my blogs but other wise the test went pretty well. It was one hundred points with twenty seven questions in total I think I got at least twenty four right. It was on latitude, longitude, Peters maps, and Mercator maps, there was also things like time zones, UTC, parallels, and meridians. I finished pretty early and was able to work on some homework I had for the night.  j

In class today we talked about some of the questions other students came up with on their blogs. We also had a pop quiz today it was pretty difficult I do not think I did that well because I was not to prepared for it. It was not to many questions it was only ten but I feel that I did not do as well because it was so short if you get one question wrong you would get ten percent taken off of your grade. 

Some test questions are- Definitions 1. Time zone- a region of time of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. 2. UTC- coordinated universal time the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and times. 3. GMT- generic mapping tools are a collection of computer software tools for processing and displaying xy and zyz data sets. 4. longitude- a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the earths surface. 5. latitude- a geographic coordinate that specifies the north south position of a point on the earths surface. fill in the blank  6. Latitude is measured by _______ running parallel to the equator.-imaginary lines 7. Longitude is measured by _______ circling the earth and running through the poles.-imagery lines 8. A map is a _______ or flat scale model of the earths surface.-two dimensional 9. The art of map making is called _______.-cartography reverse definitions  10. The

Today in class we learned about time zones. A time zone is a region of time that observes a uniform standard time for lega l, commercials, and special purposes. UTC is coordinated universal time the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. Daylights savings time is the practice of turning a clock ahead as warmer weather approaches and back as it becomes colder again so that people will have one more hour of day light in the afternoon and the evening during the warmer season of the year .  We also talked about where the time zones start and where they end it is a really interesting map to look at the times zones end where the state border is so that a city does not have a different time zone in some places.
