Recap of Tuesday

Today in class we were presented with notes on chapter 5 which was based on the Caribbean region. To sum up the notes, we discussed that the Caribbean has high population densities and plantation agriculture is important. There are environmental issues affecting the Caribbean some being deforestation, water contamination, and sewage disposal. The climate is relatively warm all year long and talked about how 6 to 12 hurricanes move through this region annually.

In class we also went to the computer lab to finish up the GIS assignment. Many people were working on the high school assessment which was required to do. It involved picking a country in the Caribbean and focusing on ways to help protect yourself if a landslide, volcano, or flood would occur.
