Post 8: A subject you've enjoyed studying this semester.

 This first semester I've had a lot of subjects that I liked because almost it all adress topic that I found very interesting, but there is two subjects that call my attention over the others and those are biogeography and geography of the soils. On one said, the biogeography study the distribution of the living beings in the time and space, so they are related to the rol of the ecosystems or the history of the species over throughtouth time. One of the last themes that we have seen has been the classification of differents types of plants, animals, mushrooms and bacterys and it has been very entertaining.

On the other side, in geography of the soils is studied the composition of the soils and that server to understand their characteristics and their behaviour. Whitin the matter we have seen one has been the differents layers of soils that exists, know as "horizons", and each of them contains more amounts of minerals, organic matter, clay or sand. That has made me understand the world differently because now when I visit new place or know new animals, I analize them with the subject I have learned and so I feel I learn better.

Post 7: Google Earth.

 One of the most used programs in geography is Google Earth. Maybe the majority know it, but si you don't know, is a program that allow us to explore the planet and see the relief and cities all around the world online and with a clarity that is amazing that reveals the mountains, the rivers, the lakes, the volcanoes and buildings.

This program, at the same time, gives information about the slope of certain sides, as well as the distance between one point and another, amog other characteristics that are those as geographers help us to evaluate or identify the space.

Altought in the career this program is used a lot, I know it before because I liked to enter on it and explore the wonders of the world and discover new places with only move the mouse and some clicks, I really recommend it to travel.

Google Earth works as a program and also as a web page so it's not necesary to download it so here I leave the link for you to use yo can entertain for a while.

The page: https://earth.google.com/web/

To download the program: https://www.google.com/intl/es/earth/download/gep/agree.html

Kind regards.



Post 6: How can your major make the world a better place.

 The geography has a high impact in the world because it allows us to relate to each other as a society and also to the environment, so that to understand and analyze the different territories from their political, socia, economic and scientific characteristics. About what one can do as a geographer may be participate in a territorial planification from the citys or in studies of environmental assessment or natural risk who could affect the people and the ecosystems in general.

Tha charasteristic mentiones make the geography one usefull tool for the world and also for the prevention of potential natural risk as constructions in sites sith hydrological antecedents the climate change and how it affects the ecosystems, so it also serves us as a society to elaborate plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating the climate process.
