Like any country’s economic situation, Bolivia’s economic struggles are complex and heavily debated…but it’s relatively easy to identify at least one of the many reasons, it’s geography.

Thank you for watching! I made this video for my 8th grade class. The purpose of the video was to show at the very beginning of the North America unit and to pause the video after each region is shown to discuss as a class the physical characteristics they noticed about each. I ve also attached a free 5 question worksheet on teacher pay teachers that I used during COVID-19 virtual learning. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/North-America-Geographic-Regions-Youtube-Video-Worksheet-5973144#show-price-update Social Media ------------------------ Map Shop - http://zacksmapshop.com/ Twitter - http://twitter.com/zackfleming Instagram - http://instagram.com/thegeographygeek Facebook - http://facebook.com/thegeographygeek TikTok - http://vm.tiktok.com/zmjpokutw/ Discord - https://discord.gg/4TsgtY6K Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/geographygeek

China surpassed the US in 2010. The US is 1st in oil consumption. - 30 named storms did not hit the US. A record 30 named storms took place in the Atlantic, only 11 hit the contiguous USA. Clarifications -------------------- - I said the War of 1812 was a US victory when it is a bit more complicated. The US failed in many of their pre-war objects including failing to fully rid the British off the North American continent. To do this the US made multiple attempts to invade Canada, but failed. Because of this Canada claims victory in the war. However, the US did repel the British from US territory with geography playing a large role. The British also abandoned the natives who they supported before the war of 1812 with arms and supplies and were thought to be encouraging attacks on the US. This allowed the US to expand into the Midwest without British interference after the war. - I said tornadoes occur in the United States because of flat territory. It does contribute but the flat territory does not cause tornadoes. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that storms occur. There are a large number of Tornadoes that occur in tornado ally because of the dry cold air moving south from Canada that meets warm moist air traveling north from the Gulf of Mexico. The flat territory in the Great Plains enables this because there are no mountain ranges blocking the warm humid air from the gulf. - https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-is-tornado-alley-where-are-tornadoes-most-likely-to-occur-where-is-the-tornado-belt.html Music Credit Song: Is that You or Are You You?

In the 17th century, Australia began to take form on maps. This began with its discovery in 1606 by Willem Janszoon and its further exploration by the Dutch throughout the century. But the idea of Terra Australis, which we established in part 1 of this series is not Australia, was still hanging on. What would eventually be named Australia was named New Holland and was seen as a separate continent from Terra Australis, though they could possibly connect....

Exploration and cartography are intertwined. Exploration is how geographic knowledge is often gained and exploring new lands is dependent on the understanding of the geography that is already known.
