note: the word geography is like "writing the world"
the focus should be on PHYSICAL real mountains and rivers and less on "naming countries and capitals" because the rivers are REAL and worse the broders change... and capitals change and were not real only name.
lesson one. if we watch the sky the 'pattern of stars" appeasrs to move together. thsi could either be because the stars are moving together or because we stand on a sphere which is spinning and facing some stars until the spin continues and we face other stars. in astronomy we will learn which but this is geography.
our sphere is named the earth. is it a sphere some people doubt this. however we bserve the moon and neighboring planets are a sphere so we should believe this is a sphere to.
our sphere called a planet is named palanet earth.
the name is bad because most of the surface is waternot earth. admittedly under the water is solids dirt and metals. based on the magnetic field there MUST be much metal inside so either name it "water or metal" but not earth... but hey it is just a name. to identify which planet.
the problem with a sphere is how to define and identify points. luckily since our sphere spins we can identify an axis which we all spin around. we name one north and one south as names.
we could beigin our stidy from the south axis or south pole and there is a vast continent there however that "south continent" is very cold so almost nobody lives there except temperary researchers so instead we will analyze the impotrtant parts from the north.
if we travel from the north towards a certain english speaking country named UK that is moving south. for lesson one we will not go to UK because they had enuf authority in deciding time zones and longitude... instead we will go south from the north axis named north pole to another english s[eaking country named canada.
the country should less important than PHYSICAL real mountains and rivers.
the continent extends across east to west around 3000 miles across. [around 4700 kilometers by 0.6 miles each]. the water north of the land needs a name to identify it.
in this generation it is frozen often many meters of thick ice over the water. why not "north" ocean arctic relates to bear but that was a bad decision. many stars are on the north so call it north.
1 north ocean.
the land to the south is a continent with the country canada. the division of canada is political and the focus should be on physical features.
a vast bay is in the north of canada named hudson bay. the hudson bay region has many cities and many territorial divisions which are for political administration. on the west side of this continent is a major river Yukon river. it is th ethird longest river in the continent. the highest peak (once named mount mckinley back when i learned geography) is the highest peak in the continent. politiicains changed its name to the "native" name "denali"
[protest: although the earlier name had been recognized by CONGRESS AND LASTED for around a hundred years who else but obama would put the pattern america last and lowest, even american leaders lose why? because obama was democratic party and mckinly was rpublican! that shows how bad obama was.] change a name and remove the honor of an american leader to put americans "lower". those natives named it for an imaginary god but mckinly was real and a leader. stupid obama... the worst democratic president in the last four decades. so wht should we call it? the majority agreed to change the name... to denali. oh well... oops! no they did not! congress had named it for the assasinated republican president but obama did "executive "order that is one! he did not get congressional approval. that is disgusting reversing the vote and teh hundred year old name judt because a democrat wants to remove republican it was only executive order.
well trump could make an executive order too... congress never approved. " president then raised another of Obama's Alaska decisions. “Wasn't the name of a big mountain in Alaska changed by executive order?” Trump asked, according to the newspaper. (Obama announced in 2015 the federal government was changing the name of Mount McKinley to Denali, the Native Alaska name for the peak.) +The president brought up the idea of changing the name back to Mount McKinley, named for a U.S. president who never visited the 49th state, and the senators quickly argued against it. "Lisa—Senator Murkowski—and I jumped over the desk. We said, 'No, no!'" said Sullivan, who was speaking at the Alaska Federation of Natives convention in Anchorage, the newspaper reported.
as a child they taught me mckinly for the assasinated president... it did not matter he was republican buit oba,ma the democrat we know what he thought."
.
moving southward away from the north pole of the spinning axis we will se the longest rivers in this continent. the "Missouri and MIssissippi" Rivers are the longest. the missouri river pours its water into the mississippi wiver which reaches the coast therefore instead of many names use the same name "mississippi" for the river and the gulf which it pours into.
similarly the continent should be named like its longest river Missouri. one name for two
the water which mississippi empties into should be named the same one name mis. gulf because of the river and also to avoid country names for shared water.
so two names missouri and missisippi name 4 each names a river and one names a continent and the other athe gulf which it puours into
another physical real feature is mount whitney near the west coast of the missouri continent.
