More Notes

Today in class, on November 8, we took some notes regarding population. Many people in our class were still out because of the play, "Hello Dolly." I think we should have gone to watch the play because it would have been fun but it's ok I guess. The class was shortened because we were following a D day schedule. Anyways, we were taking notes about population clusters and how different factors affect the number of people living there. For example, if an area has easy access to water, like an ocean or river, it is more likely to be highly populated. In contrast, if an area is surrounded by land there will not be as many people living there. An example of this is the midwest because this area is not close to water and is not highly populated. In the powerpoint, there were many slides with different maps that showed you population density versus arable land or farmer versus arable land. These maps were interesting to look at and see the difference in the area.
