Professor Hans Rosling teaches global health. Professor Hans shows us a visual of the population. He animated the data in real space. He also shows us how the population has changed over the last 200 years.  An example of something that he explained in the video was that in 1810 the life expectancy was lower than 40 years old.  Uk was the first people to be able to make things in mass quantities. \

Populationpyramid.net is a website that shows the population of every country. It also shows the population decreasing an increasing every year. The website demonstrates this by dividing the population of a country by women and women and by age groups. The men are always on the left of the scale. The women are always on the right side of the scale. The youngest people at at the bottom of the pyramid. The oldest people are at the top of the pyramid. They are counted by five year increments. While watching the TED talk we learned that the prerepreductive age is between four and fourteen. Also that the reproductive age usually is between fifth teen and forty four. The post reproductive ages rage between forty five to death.  I also learned about pre-industrialized, industrialized, and post-industrialized. Industrialize is used when a developed country's econmy has a strong stable industry.

Today in human geo we got out test back. I did okay on the population and settlement test. On this test I got an 87%. I definitely could've gotten a better grade. I still got a B so I am pretty happy with my test score. I did better on this test than the last test, which was on maps. I did not really have any problem or issues with this test. The answers that I got wrong, we stupid little things that I did. I mainly messed up on the third page. There was also two extra credit problems on the back that when I took the test I had no clue what it was but when I Read over the questions again I remembered what it was. Before we went over our test, we watched two videos and went to a website called PopulationPyramind.net. On this website we were able to find the population of every countries and in any year. It also showed the growth or decrease in a countries population. From this website I learned that Qatar has more male than females because of the coal industry. Also the website show...

Today in human geo we took our settlement and population test.  I think I did pretty well on it. There really wasn't a question that I did not know at all. I feel pretty confident in it. The first part of the quiz we had twenty minutes to completer. We had search and find information about a country, such as its population, infant mortality rate, and unemployment rate. the first part of the test was easy. Then when I got to the fill in the blanks, I got a little nervous but then I started doing them and realized that for the most part I knew it. The next page we had to do the math and find an a percentage or a number to the answer the question. I had a little bit of trouble on that but after I finished the first two, I started to get the hang of it. for the last four questions, we had to name two push forces and two pull forces. We had to be specific and give a country that either had a pull force or a push force. Overall, I think I did I a lot better than I thought I was going to ...

Today in human geo we went over the population and settlement powerpoint and the CIA World Facebook. I feel more confident after we reviewed more of the topics and questions that are going to be on the test tomorrow. Mr. Schick also told us some question that are going to be on the quiz tomorrow. One of the questions was to name two push forces and two pull forces and give an example with a country. Some other questions that will be on the test tomorrow are the numbers/information from the CIA World Factbook and about the net immigration rate.  I am glad that a couple days ago, Mr. Schick gave us an assignment where we had to find information of the CIA World Factbook because now I know how do find the information that I will need for tomorrow's test. As we reviewed our notes and the power point I feel very confident about the test tomorrow, a lot more confidant than yesterday.

I have a test on Friday in human geo. This test is on the CIA World Facebook and the population and settlement powerpoint. If I took this teats right now, I probably fail it and do horrible. I know the material well but I still don't feel like I total understand it. I think that the CIA World Facebook was very informational and useful. I learned a lot from this website. Also, I thought that the population and settlement powerpoint was very useful. I started to look over the notes we took and the powerpoint on yesterday. I am reviewing tonight and Thursday night, to prepare for this test. I feel like by the time I take the test on Friday I will be prepared and hopefully will get a good grade.

Today in class we looked over the last couple of slides and reviewed the terms. As of July 2018 the population of the United States was 329,256,456. The population growth rate for the United States is 0.8%. The birth rate of the United States is 12.4. The death rate of the United States is 8.2. The net immigration rate in the United States is 3.8 migrants. The infant mortality rate in the United States is 5.7. deaths. The life expectancy in the United States is 80.1 years.  The life expectancy in the United States for females is 82.3 years. The life expectancy for males in the United States if 77.8 years. In the United States, the total fertility rate is 2.1 children born per women. I also learned that next Friday we have a test.

Crude death rate is the number of deaths occurring among the population of a given geographic area during a given year. Total fertility rate is the number of children who are born per women. Total fertility rate is also known has TFR. Crude birth rate is the number of births occurring among the population of a given geographic area during a given year. Unemployment rate is the share of the labor force that is jobless, usually expressed as a percent. It generally rises or falls in the wake of changing economic conditions. Net migration rate is the difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants throughout the year. Population growth rate is rate at which the number of the individuals in a population increase in a given time period.  Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths under one year of age. Maternal mortality rate is the number of deaths that occurred in some during or after pregnancy or childbirth. Rate of natural increase is the difference between...

Over 7.6 million people live on the planet right now. Also is increasing over 73 million people per year, 8,377 per hour, 149 per minute, and 2.5 per second. About 90% of the population takes place in Africa, South and East Asia and Latin America. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1000 of the population. Crude death rate is the number of deaths per 1000 of the population. Rate of natural increase (RNI) is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. This gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage for a country or region. Net Migration Rate is the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a country during a year. An excess of people entering the country is net immigration. An excess of people leaving the country is net emigration. TFR (Total Fertility rate) is the average number of children born per women. For a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1.

Today we got the test back. On this test I got a 21/27 or 78%. I think I definitely could of done better on this test. The average for everyone was a 84%. So I got above average and my overall grade is still above average. This quiz wasn't not hard but there were some tricky question. The questions that I go most wrong were the absolute location, relative location, or neither questions. One thing that I need to study more is relative location and absolute location. I got the whole front correct. I got most of the multiple choice right.

Today I was not in class because I had a tennis match.

Today in Human Geography, we took a pop quiz. Before we started the pop quiz, I thought that I knew nothing and that I was going to fail this quiz, but I actually did pretty well. As we reviewed the quiz answers, I only got two wrong. I feel really good about the test and my grade. I knew the material pretty well. Even though I thought I did not know it at all. I didn't really struggle on any of the questions. The two questions that I got wrong were, what are the arcs that go from north to south and which is true about time zones. With this quiz, I realized that I need to study more for the test. But overall I feel really good about how well I did on this test.

Today in Human Geo we took a quiz on the locations of different contents in north, south, and central America. I thought that the quiz we easy and that I did well on it. It definitely helped that I study last week and the morning of. In class, we also took notes on time zones. Time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Time zones follow the boundaries of countries because it would make more sense for areas in close commercial communication to keep the same time. Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude. Each band of longitude lines is 15 degrees wide. UTC (Coordinate Universal Time) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and times. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is often used as a synonym for UTC. GMT predates UTC by nearly 300 years. Some temperate zone countries use Daylight Savings Time for part of the year, usually by adjusting local clock time by an hour. Some people want to abol...
