I just watched the video on geography. It begins by explaining how the earth orbits. Next it talks about land masses and the 7 continents. It then shows how the sun warms the earth. After that it tells you about the equator, the two tropics, and the two circles. Then it explains how people may dress or live differently because of their climate. After that it talks about how wind coming from various places can effect the climate. Water can also effect the climate by coming from different parts of the earth. It says that places of extreme weather, such as the Sahera or Antartica, are much less populated than balanced places. I think that I learned and benefitted from this video.
