- The main point of the article is that most of the natural disasters such as flooding, record-breaking heat waves, and earthquakes have global warming to blame.
- --------
- Weather is a condition that happens over a short period of time such as rainy, snowy, hot, etc on a particular day. Climate is the average weather over a long period of time of a location over a season.
- Some examples of extreme weather was the floods in Pakistan, the heat wave in Russia, and the some record-breaking heat waves in the eastern part of the United States.
- I haven't experienced extreme weather conditions yet, just maybe mini earthquakes that you can't feel in your sleep in California but that's it.
- Perception means what you think, feel, or understand about somethings.
- My perception of global climate change is that all of these floods, and heat waves, fast climate changes are all because of global warming. Well, global warming is happening because of us. Because of us polluting the air with our cars and factories, we send carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And once the sun's rays hit the earth, it stays in the earth and heats up the world.

Map Assessment: 5 Themes of Geography
Region
My world is called "Darlene's Paradise." It's most definately the home of the jewels. My region is a bunch of lands that formed perfectly together like a puzzle and has united to become the land full of jewels. It's like the olden days when people had to mine underground. I'm not sure if people still do that, but I'm guessing they do, just in a safer way. Because where do we keep getting our gold from? Underground x).
Location
Every single country is all very similar to the others. Each location has similar names, just different ways of titling it. Such as "World of Jewels" and "Bling Bling Empire." They are quite similar, still around the category of attraction, sparkles, and dazzling, etc.
Movement
According to "Darlene's Paradise", people all over in every country is moving, and trying to escape from the man named Hablaga and his minions. This man is very evil and powerful and he's been robbing the cities with most jewels. He's been to every country except "Heart of Paradise." So thousands of people travel to "Heart of Paradise" to all gang up on Hablaga and his minions and if they have the chance, kill them as well. They want him to return all of the jewels and become one of them... peaceful and loving. But if he refuses, the people will destroy his gang AND have back all the jewels. But some people disagree and say that there's a chance that they might give up their lives. So some stay put in their country.
Human-Environment Interaction
Over thousands of years, people in "Darlene's Paradise" found seeds that make trees called "The Gold Maker". It means that when you put this seed into the ground and water it every day, as it grows into a huge tree about 9 meters high, instead of apples growing, it'll be gold. Every two month there'll be gold 20 gold pieces that fall from the tree. People are living around it so, when 20 gold pieces fall, those people have to try and catch them. Whoever catches them, keeps them, but whoever doesn't, has to wait another two months. Every country has two of these trees and that country is responsible for growing them. If that country is lazy, then plastic jewelry will fall down, but it is no use because people won't buy them. After a few years when the tree dies, the government plants another one in another area in the country for others to have a chance.
Place
South of the "Heart of Paradise" is *Darlene's Spectacular Palace*. Every year on March 12 - March 31 is the time when EVERYONE is "Darlene's Paradise" goes to the palace to worship Darlene :) March 12 was also when she was born. The statue of Darlene is made of crystal diamonds and the walls of the palace is made of pure gold. There are also designs on the side of Darlene's poses made of topazes, rubies, emeralds, pearls, amethysts, onyxes, and violets. It was fact that Darlene was the queen of "Darlene's Paradise" and she would make everyone happy by giving out jewelry. It was a happy world for everyone, which was why EVERYONE had to come and give thanks to her.

Family Tree Presentation
I've learned that when I was telling about how my cousin John died, I didn't know that I was still so sensitive. I knew that I was when I was younger, but I thought I stopped. I've learend this a long time ago, but I forgot to say it in the presentation, but my grandpa on my mom's side left the family and moved to Texas. We never visited him, and I was never sure why. And I realized that I had many cousins than I had expected.I've also learned that my mom was EXTREMELY into style before any of my siblings were born. In some old pictures, I saw her have that 90's hair that's all frizzy and puffy, wearing black tights, boots, more styled clothing, and looking MUCH more younger. Now, she's so different. Now, she wears jeans or leggings every day and simple and styled-ish shirts that you see mothers wear.
I never thought that Celcilia swam and got THAT many medals. I was also amazed how Olia was Russian. I never even thought that she'd be Russian. No wonder the way she spoke english was kind of different then everybody else's. We all know that "Olia" isn't a very common name. But she told me that in Russia it's VERY common, that's interesting.I also never knew that Henry could cook! It seems pretty shocking, but it's cool.
People are similar to us in many ways, but seeing their presentations helps us learn more about them. Now I can understand why people are different and why they do what they do. It's because everyone has some kind of background that makes them different from other people.
