LAB 1 "MAPS.2"

This is my happy place,it's slightly less than a mile walk from my house. Here is a bamboo forest right on the bend of the Chattahoochee river where you can go fishing or just sit and relax.

LAB 1 "MAPS"

For my first map, I chose the isarithmic map shown directly below. This map shows the Average annual precipitation in Georgia by breaking areas into different zones using point source data.

For my second map, I chose a dot density map that portrays the magnitude of multiple units across a map. the map i chose was the nuimber of internet users across the world in 2004.

For my third map, I chose to find a chloropleth map displaying populations of all the different states in the United States of America. The darkness of the color represents a greater magnitude of the selected zone.

The Axolotl

The Axolotl ,(Ambystoma mexicanum), is an amphibian found natively in lakes in Mexico. It undergoes metamorphosis to become an aquatic adult with gills, it grows to be between a half to one and a half feet long. It is in the salamander family.  currently it is undergoing extensive research because of its innate ability to regenerate its own appendages in a matter of months. It can also accept transplants with great ease, including parts of its brain. The axolotl is currently on the endangered species list due to pollution from urbanization.
