Today in class we read the rest of the essays and took notes on them. We also looked at Mr. Schick's North America power-point.
Here are my notes:

• United States and Canada

• Diverse in everything.

• 335 million people.

• Rich in natural resources.

• Variety in climates.

• Ultra-globalized.

• Last remaining global superpower (U.S.) (Nuclear Power, weapons)

Environmental Geography
• North Americans have transformed the land.
-Wheat, cattle, horses are not native but introduced.
• U.S. is the third largest consumer of water
-China is #1 and India is #2 (more people)
