Furthermore, London is also one of the world’s leading financial centres.

Scale- relationship between a specific place in the world, and the Earth as a whole.

In the critically acclaimed video Let My Dataset Change Your Mindset (Rosling, 2009) Dr. Hans Rosling provides insights into how old mindsets with regard to the 3rd world versus 1rst world need to be re-evaluated and considered from the standpoint of what really differentiates the two. He also provides insights of how the new mindset is being driven by a series of stipulations that countries are increasingly relying on to lift the health of their entire populations (Rosling, 2009). He also provides insights into how the prodigious saving of 3rd world nations helped to finance the bail-out of the American financial crisis, and how these nations are also carrying the majority of economic burden today for developing economies (Rosling, 2009). His examples clearly illustrate how critical it is for countries to invest heavily in education, healthcare including vaccinations, and infrastructure to support the safe delivery of food, water and ensure the hygiene of a population (Rosling, 2009).

1. West – It is to the west that the sun sets at the end of the day. This fact connects the element of water to the west, since with the setting of the sun darkness approaches and with it coolness, which are aspects of this element. In addition, it is after a hectic day that we wind down and experience a measure of peace and calm. Since the element of water is also associated with calmness it is appropriate to link it with the west and the setting sun.

Geology- It is the study of the Earth, which materials compose it, and how they work together, their processes (earthquakes, floods, erosion) and changes that they have gone through (mountains emerging, valleys, etc.). It also studies the organisms that had been on earth (fossils). It is a wide subject that can be subdivided into fields such as minerology, petrology and so on.

Located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains is the wonderful city of Sandy. Sandy City is one of the more populous areas of Salt Lake City and the 5th largest city in Utah. It is a large, mostly suburban area with a population of about 94,000 people. It extends from I-215 to the north, E 12300 to the south, W 10600 S to the west, and Little Cottonwood Canyon Road to the east.

It is where a highly advanced where of living for the Native Americans. It Is grassland that went through the west- central portion of the United States. Towards the east the tribes Osage and Iowa had hunted, planted crops, and lives in small villages. People who lived in the Great plains followed the laws and made handmade tools and clothing.

S- it shows how when people migrate they bring ideas and culture with them. For example this is why there can be four different languages being spoken in one place.

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.

The enviromnet plays a huge role in the way they live in Africa. Where a region is located has a very big impact on the activities that are able to take place there. If a place is too hot or too cold, certain plants are not able to grow there. Also, too much rainfall or not enough rainfall can help or prevent certain plants from growing. In Africa your specific location in regards to elevation, and the equator, the climate and the natural resources all play a role in Africa's economy.

It was a slow scoring first half that ended knotted at 30, thanks to a Dallas Ennema tip in at the buzzer. Stony Brook survived the first 20 despite only having their star player Jameel Warney available for 7 minutes due to foul trouble.

Geography is a main factor that has heavily influenced the course of human history. With the theory of environmental determinism in mind, geographical factors had the strongest influence towards the beginning of human civilizations when there was less technology powerful enough to challenge Mother Nature. As time passed and new technological advancements took place, nature began to have a bit less effect on what we, as humans, could or could not do, and thus the more flexible theory of possibilism came to light. Geographical elements such as rivers, mountains, and climate have changed our culture and history in ways that we often overlook. Where societies formed and flourished, why Europe seeked world domination, how countries survived invasions,

From Avenue Louise, they traveled north, circumvented Brussels, and continued north toward Mechelen. The overcast night and slotted headlight covers made the road difficult to see and, for once, Marcel drove at a reasonable speed. Elisaveta fell asleep with her head on Saban’s shoulder while he struggled to stay awake. No one spoke and occasionally Marcel would light a cigarette and blow smoke through a slightly rolled down window.

According to the UC Atlas of Inequality (organization that explores the interaction between global integration (globalization) and inequality, and provides information for use by students and teachers in the University of California), “global infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, not only take eight lives per minute around the world, but costs millions of dollars to diagnose and treat.”

Principle I of the World Health Organisation Rio Declaration on Environment and Development states that “Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.” It is evident that sustainable development is not achievable while there is a global problem with regard to debilitating illnesses. Global health refers to health problems that spread across national borders, such as infectious and insect-borne diseases. These diseases can be so widespread and of such a big magnitude that they have a global political and economic impact.
