example of maps we
worked with were
Indonesias GPD map,
world language map, etc.
We described what the
maps purpose were.

Indonesias economic
organization is ASEAN.
The maps also told me
that certain regions can
have similarities due to
their physical aspects. For
example, the Indonesias
fishing map showed me
that the regions can be
divided due to the sea
areas. The world sports
map made me
understand that countries
can share similarities due
to sports and the sports
can be due to the
climate. An example of
this is Canada with ice
hockey. This is an
example of human
characteristics for region.
