Our World

today in class

Today in class, we gathered into groups of 3 or 4 and picked words for each letter of the alphabete that represented something in either North Africa or West Asia. After that, we got our maps and started to work on them. Towards the end of class, we began chapter 7. We learned that the typical climate of this region of the world is usually arid and dry which is depended on the altitude and the latitude. We also learned that there are different parts of this region which are classified as there landforms. The Levant is highlands and Mountains in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Southwest Asia. The Antolia is the peninsula of Turkey and is an active plateau. The Mesopotomia is between the tigris and the Eupratees river. The Maghreb includes Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, which is dominated by the Atlas Mt. We learned about OPEC, which is the organization of Poroleum Exporting Countries. Hmmmmm....... Deforestation is caused by Human Activities and natural conditioning that reduced most of forests to grass and scrub. Hydro politics is interplay of water resource issues and politics. The Quanet System is the iranian process of tapping into groundwater through a series of gently slopping tunnels. Well then, I am done taking notes for the day. Im out, Peace! Have a nice day my friends.
