Part II

Thank you for sharing this link, Elliott!

I took a look at this map and wasn't surprised to see that many immigrants to America settle along the coasts/borders of the United States. The map legend indicates that regions with darker blue have higher a high percent of foreign born citizens within their county. Much of the south west border is dark blue, evidently due to is proximity to Mexico, a country undergoing violence from the eternal drug wars. In addition, major cities here and there, such as New York City, display dark blue. This is logical, as these cities provide job opportunities and serve as major ports, historically and in the present today.

Also look at the area around Louisiana. It's interesting that there is a small amount of migrants there knowing that the islands off the coast are not too far away. I would figure that there is a small amount of immigrants there, because of Hurricane Katrina, and the thought that that area is more vulnerable to natural disasters than other areas.

This map really confused me! I understand that Mexico has a climate that is attractive to elderly migrants...however, with the ongoing drug wars, why would migrants choose Mexico? Regions in the north and center display a higher percent of elderly migrants. I compared this map to one depicting homicides related to the drug wars. It appears that there a more homicides per 1,000 persons in the mid-North, which perhaps serves as a hub, with homicides decreasing from this central point.

Cool! Why of where?

How are maps made today? 

How does the Census help us determine how urban areas are expanding? What other information do we need to know?

If you were in Period 1, I mentioned that it would be interesting to see a prediction map for the 2016 election. I found one

Thank you for sharing!

What connections did you make with our speaker's presentation today? Check out the island of Tanna. Visit the different parts of the island.

This is a interesting article I stumbled across today that goes with the lesson you had at the the end of class Mr. Reidy

Logan - Nice work finding this EXCELLENT resource. I gained good insight from reading the material. Check it out, APHUG!

Wow! A must see.

How is development impacted by a country's geography? Why does Africa have 34 of the 49 LDCs? Any thoughts, APHUG?

Music has become a part of everyday culture for people throughout the world, so where did it come from? Find out through maps, as well as pictures, and hear some of the unique music that can be found throughout the world!

This site is fantastic and very informative! It's great at showing how different genres can develop in different places at the same time and how popular culture can spread all over the world.

Your site is really well organized. I like all the information about the different genres. My favorite thing was the maps that showed how music moved through time.

This map of music shows relations between musicians/groups. Related musicians are closeby and in the same country.

this was from a week ago but I JUST realized it was also in the textbook! pg 113

Are stage 2 countries more prone to certain causes of death?

Check out this resource again. How does this map connect with HDI data?
