Today in human Geo we talked about situation. Situation is a location of a place relative to other paces. Situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one. For example Mr.Schick asked who has been to Florida and almost the whole class rose their hand. Then he asked who has been to Mississippi and only like 3 people rose their hand. Mr.Schick then asked one of the people what it is like in Mississippi and she said it would rain for like an hour and then be clear and then Mississippi was compared to Florida.Florida was the familiar and Mississippi was the unfamiliar place. Situation helps us understand the importance of the location.
Today in class we learned about site and situation. Site is character of a place. Examples of site is climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, elevation. We talked about how Nebraska is just straight road with corn fields. Then how different it would be in Denver because it is mountains and people have to change things like how they drive because they are driving down hill. We also talked about how climate has to do a lot with an area like for example what kind of animals would live in that area. Mr. Schick also gave us a pop quiz.
