For humanities, we mostly learned about geography and why it is important. Geography is important because it shows where everything is and it delineates borders between different countries, provinces, and regions. We had a diving question, which was: how has the geography of the west shaped who we are? We learned about longitude and latitude, as well as the theme of geography called Place. Place includes cultural characteristics, religion, and language, and it is important because it makes a place unique and explains why it is unique. Another theme of geography is human-environment interaction, which illustrates how humans interact with the world and how we change our surroundings.

Movement is another theme of geography that shows how we travel and the means of transportation we use, such as cars, planes, and trains. Regions, which are areas of the world that have similarities, is another theme of geography. Different regions may have different governments that establish borders for these regions. Examples of different regions include provinces and states, which demonstrate how a country or even a region like North America can be divided into multiple countries.

One aspect we explored was the physical geography of the west. The vast landscapes of mountains, deserts, and plains have influenced the way we live, move, and interact with our environment. For example, the Rocky Mountains act as a natural barrier, separating the western states from the rest of the country. This has contributed to the development of unique regional identities and the formation of distinct cultural practices.

In conclusion, the geography of the west has had a profound impact on our society. It has shaped our physical environment, influenced migration and settlement patterns, and contributed to the development of unique cultural practices. By understanding and appreciating the power of geography, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in and how it has shaped our identities.

The things I learned on this project is how geography interacts with us every single day, and why geography is important in the world. We had a driving question. The question was how has the geography of the west shaped we are it’s important to have a driving question because it teaches us what the projects about and I have a general understanding of it. We had to learn about the five themes of geography The first theme of geography is location. We learned about what a location is. A location is longitude and latitude. The second theme of geography that we learned was place we learned what place is it a distinct characteristics of those characteristics are physical and cultural it’s shows the people that are there and it shows a culture that are their. I the third theme of geography is human environment interaction it shows how humans in trapped with the world and how we change nature and why we change nature. the fourth theme of geography is movement it shows why movement is important and why we learn about movement they told us about how movement works and what are other movements. Regions show different parts of the world in a different way. It shows similar parts of the world, but splitting them up like states and provinces, and like countries how different countries have the same land area, but will be split up in different ways, usually boundaries are defined by government and I can be defined by functionality another way regions can be defined is by people’s perception. Another thing we learned about is how the kelp forest is very important because it takes carbon dioxide and it turns it into the oxygen for us is very important to our ecosystem. It makes sure that we have oxygen and it make sure that these Ocean life animals can live somewhere. Another thing we did was we need to make a video at home, showing what inspires us why it inspires us. IMG_0950
