3 ways to split up Earth into regions
Time Zones
The time zones are a way to split the Earth up into regions because time zones are based on what time of day an area of Earth has the sun. So when people travel, noon is the middle of the day and midnight is the middle of the night no matter where you are.
Continents
When you look at the world, it's easy to tell where the different continents are. People on one continent often have things in common like race or culture. The bigger the continent, the more variety you will find.
Longitude
Regions near the equator are warm because they get direct sunlight all year. In the polar regions, it's cold because they get indirect sunlight most of the year. There are also times in the polar regions when it is day or night almost 24 hours a day. In the middle latitudes, it is more temperate and there are usually four seasons.
PLACES TO VISIT
NIAGARA FALLS
Viewing
Niagara Falls is a beautiful place for people to visit. It is one one of the 10 biggest water falls in the world. What's really interesting is that Niagara Falls is in two different countries.
Things to do
There are many, many things to do in Niagara Falls. From watching a waterfall, to going on a boat ride or even marrying a human in the Niagara church to become a full Earth citizen.
Winter
Winter is just as good as summer to visit Earth (if you're an alien and don't feel cold). It's really cool! (If you like looking at frozen water that is.)
Great Wall of China
A Space Beauty
You may recognize this human masterpiece. This wall is so big that even you can see it from space! Even though you've probably seen it, you still might want to stop by and give it a visit.
History
The Great Wall was built to protect China from the barbarian invaders. The best known section of the wall was build during the Ming dynasty.
5,500.3 miles
That's how long this beast of a wall is! Just think of the hard work and dedication put into this, just one of the many reasons we're superior and would win a battle with aliens.
Michael Jordan's House
Things you can do
Many things can happen at this incredible place! You can play this really fun game where you jump a fence and get chased by big men yelling and shooting electric guns at you. If you get lucky you might get the chance to go one-on-one in basketball with a 50 year old has-been.
The inside
The inside of this palace is just incredible! The beautiful furniture and expensive interior design are spectacular. From an indoor regulation basketball court, to the living room with a 120 inch flat screen TV, or even the exercise room the size of a gym, there is so much to see and do!
The outside
Even as cool as the inside. The outside includes a golf course, a private island, and even tennis and basketball courts!
