The 700 mile route was mark with red balls so that the drivers wouldn’t get lost. The route that the men would drive on was horrible. The tires would blow out because of shell fragments, barbed wire and empty C-ration cans. The trucks that were overloaded with supplies tipped and flipped, sank into mud country roads. The driver also fell asleep while driving and veered off into ditches. The red ball express finally ended after 82 days of non stop

1. The reasons why some buildings are in the floodplains is because of agricultural industry. Another reason is population growth and expansion into those areas where people felt safe because of improvements of levees. Even though people were told about the dangers most people relied on disaster insurance instead of flood insurance. There should be laws that prohibit further development of these areas because it is costing the taxpayers lots of money for people that want to live in these areas that know the risks. If there were laws in place they could use some of the land as soccer fields and football fields as overflow ponds if they do want to build in a floodplain they need to raise the ground up by hauling in soils that will let the water pass through into those overfill ponds.

Chapter 14 was an interesting read for me because I am a millineall, having been born in 1989. I want to focus on the economic problem for millinialls. College is expensive but graduating with 26,000 dollars in debt plus another 7,000 dollars on credit cards is ridiculous. Neither of my parents are college graduates because they didn't have the money at the time and they pushed me really hard to start taking classes again. Financially it can be hard but finally earning a degree and then having a hard time finding a job and owing over 30,000 dollars is really depressing. I have a friend who has a master in accounting and has had a hard time finding work and he owes over 80 thousand dollars in stident loans. There has to be a way for us to

1. The factors that are listed in 1.2 are world population growth, ecological disturbances, technological advancements, microbial evolution and adaptation, and human behavior and attitudes. World population growth can impact the spread because if we are looking at just one area of people that is extremely crowded and one of them has a disease; by person to person contact it can spread more easily compared to an area of people that is less compacted with people. Ecological disturbances such as climate changes, and natural disasters, can increase spreading of Zika because climate has a lot to do with where the mosquitos, and they also need places to live. If we had a natural disaster such as a flood, that is a lot of water and that’s what mosquitos

We had a couple interesting stops. The first was in the Flint Hills of Kansas, so named because the limestone is just below the surface and the rock is imbedded with pockets of flint, which were of use to the Indians. This land was no good for farming because of the lack of deep topsoil, so it was bypassed and thus never plowed or developed and is now the largest remaining tall grass prairie in the nation. Prairie is a French word for meadow and when the white settlers moved west, they encountered tall grass prairies from Texas to Canada and from Colorado to the Mississippi River. The mature grass was about 6 feet tall. In the winter it dried up and fell over, making a thick dry thatch (which served as a winter home for critters) that usually caught fire during the spring storms. The fire would rage across the prairie until it came to a river too wide to cross and then

Along the French Riviera and by the shores of the Mediterranean there lies a city known as Nice. It sits a mere 20 miles from the Italian border, and over the millennia it has swapped nationalities many times, with people who at different times have called themselves Greek, Roman, Nician, Italian, and French - among others. For an International Explorer, Nice is a captivating place to experience. Know that it has been seen by the eyes of English Queens, Russian Tsars, Venetian Doge’s, and all other manner of Royalty and leadership. Even discounting the storied history, Nice is a crossroads for a varied and diverse group of cultures. Here can be found French, Algerians, Italians, and even Spaniards. From an International Relations perspective,

The world is very unequal because Geographic location affects what crops a civilization can grow and how they develop because a civilization can grow a variety of crops on different continents which rely on the weather and the climate which depends upon where the civilization is located. In the middle east is where civilizations grew wheat and wheat is high in protein and last a very long time as long as it is dry. Unlike sago is what they grew in papua new guinea, the sago is low in protein and only last three to four days. This is what affects the health and well being of the people which benefits the civilizations only if they have healthy food. The geography affects the agriculture which makes a civilization’s ability to produce agriculture

What a relief!!! Yesterday was our midterm exam and I am feeling great about it. I have not felt this way since last semester when I took a lower level genetics course after I already took the more advanced genetics course a semester prior. I am pretty sure I got an A on it (hopefully). I wish I could say the same about another midterm I had earlier this week. I just hope I passed that one. I could really use the good news. I was really surprised the test had nothing on the Leopold reading, which was my biggest concern because we never really discussed it in discussion section, so I didn’t know if I had the concepts right in my head. I hope we get a chance to discuss it before the final exam.

In 2015, I scored a three in the AP Human Geography exam. I have attached a copy of my score report below. I, also, recently requested CollegeBoard to send the AP score to Lipscomb University, and it should take around a week for the score to arrive.

This trail was a trail used after the Civil War era to drive cattle to other places. The portion of the trail was marked by Jesse Chisholm and went from his southern trading post near the Red River, to his northern trading post near Kansas City, Kansas. The ranchers that used the trail started on the route from either the Rio Grande or San Antonio, joined at the Red River of the South at the border between Texas and Oklahoma. Jesse Chisholm was a half-cherokee trader from Tennessee. In 1866 cattle in Texas were worth on $4 per head, compared to over $4 per head in the North and East.

* Knowledge of geography promotes a greater understanding of the books and newspapers we read. For example, it helps farmers choose crops best suited to the climatic and soil conditions of the areas in which they live.
