Maps

Today we identified location and regions on maps. Locations can be identified in three ways, places names (a toponym is a name given to a place on earth), a site (physical character of a place), and situation (location of place relative to other locations). A region is a unique area, an area on earth defined by one or more distinctive characteristics is a region. Most often applied by 2 scales. 1. Spanning Political states. 2. Constrained with one political state. A region derives its unified character through cultural landscape- combination of culture, religious and political features. Finally, we discussed regions throughout the US. Some regions based on religion (some places closed Sunday), some regions cause different accents, in which differ from those throughout the country and world.  We also discussed different accents in forgien countries including China, which is separated into North, South, East and Western China.
