Today in Class... New Unit 9/27/16

Today in class we started our new unit. It is called Population and Settlement. Today there are more people on earth then there have ever been... EVER! There are more than 7 BILLION PEOPLE on earth as we speak, or at least as I type haha. The population increases by about 73 million people each year and 90% of this population increase happens in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. We also learned about life expectancy and the US is number 42! I really wasn't expecting that. The last thing we discussed how population is measured but we didn't get to talk about it that much.
