Exploring our Planet Earth
Physical Features
Regions of Earth
Welcome to Earth, I'll be telling you how Earth is divided into regions! Earth is divided into 7 different continents. The continents are Africa, Australia, Antarctica, North and South America, Asia and Europe. Also another way the Earth is divided in regions is climate zone. The closer you are to the equator the hotter you get and the closer you get to the South or North poles the colder the temperature gets. We regionalize our Earth by time zones too! You can either be 12 hours ahead and get somewhere before they start something or you can be the 12 hours behind (either one), but just make sure you know your times at the place you are visiting or staying at. There are so many physical features in the world, but I would suggest the Grand Canyon, Angel Falls and Long Island. So let's go check them out.
Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is located in Northern Arizona. The Grand Canyon is one of the seven wonders of the world. Also the Grand Canyon is 6000 feet. The Colorado River runs through the Grand Canyon too. You should be cautious about; the possibilities in death from height, mining activities, tripping over rocks and falling in steep indents in the ground. You should take some of these travel tips; watch out for predators, drive around the canyon, stay away from edges and be careful of rough rocks. Some opportunities are; you can get recreation out of the Grand Canyon, there are fossils you can dig up and of course the sight are beautiful so sights.

Long Island
Long Island is located in New York. Also Long Island has 4 countries. There are 7.568 million people there. Plus Long Island is bigger than Rhode Island. Long Island is an economic power house too! I would suggest you to follow these travel tips; there are very dangerous people, lots of drunk people on weekends and fish are toxic. You should be cautious about; there is school segregation, roads/ traffic and if you plan to live there the property taxes grow 2x as fast as infliction. These are some of the opportunities you'll get; sights because of all the lights, you have a better chance in getting a job, you have lots of choices in recreation and it's a great touring area.
