Pyramid men on the left women on right youngest on bottom oldest on top  0-14 pre-reproductive- before able to have kids 15-44 reproductive 45-100+ post reproductive - no kids bigger the base more the pop. grows, if its very small the pop. is decreasing  demographic transition- what age people age and what that means  pre- industrialized- before things are built in your country, developing (RD.'s, gov. hospitals, clean water, buildings, birth control, grocery stores ) just getting the basics, pop. will grow the quickest  industrialized- got the basics down have birth control so pop. is not growing as quick

Test day

Hi! Today we took a test. I did not know the answer for two questions, so i put the same answer for both of then insuring that i get one right. This was an good quiz and i hope my grade goes up a point. I studied for an hour and a half so i think i  did very well on it. This question has brought up a question though. How can the world have a net migration rate, where are they going (mars)? I am going to go bug my brother about this today and get a scientific explanation on it. (This is later in the day: i just looked up all the questions and at most (i hope) i only got two wrong) Bye.

78 into an 82 like magic (W/ Arguments)

Hi! Today in lass we went over our test. I got a 78 on it, but he gave us two extra questions so i will have a 82. I got all the location problems wrong. My average should go up a point into a comfortable A, and that was pretty awesome. Bye.

(uneventful) Doctors appointment

Hi! I was not in class today because I was at a doctors appointment. Bye.

Test

We had a test in class today. I think failed the tests. I did not get a question right because i did not know how far off we were from San Francisco. I switched parallels and meridians on the test. I HATE THIS TEST. I studied for three hours but this information was not in my notes.  I did not know that lines of latitude were equal distance from the equator. How can they be equal distance from the equator if  on of them is right on top of the equator and another is at the antarctic pole! Also i am going to be out tomorrow so i will not see it if this is given back. I don not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing..

Test review

HI! Today we reviewed over the power point for the test. Mr. Schick pointed out some tested questions, and i found out i did not need to make up a pop quiz. I also, found out that when i emailed him i spelled his name wrong. Bye.

longitude

Sorry I forgot to do this yesterday, but I fell asleep. I was very sick, and woke up as i remembered that i forgot to email my teacher. longitude-  (meridians) geographic coordinate, specifies e/w position of a pt. on earth, measured by imaginary lines circling earth, running through poles. measures distance e/w from prime meridian.  prime meridian - passes thro Greenwich, England, 0 degrees longitude, n/s direction measures e/w of prime meridian, farthest  at equator , meet at poles, equal in length time zones - region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, social purposes tend to follow- boundaries of countries bc. of convenience for areas in close commercial communication to keep the same time  earth is 360 degrees divided 360 by 24 timezone's one for each hour of the day =15 degrees, each 15 degree band of long is a standard time zone  UTC (coordinated universal time) - primary time standard by which the world regulates time and clock
