  8. 2 clicks Human-Environment Interaction “California is on the verge of an economic meltdown. The state, with the second highest foreclosure rate in the nation, is being hammered by the deep recession, rising unemployment and a growing multi-billion dollar budget deficit. CNBC takes you inside California's economic crisis… speaking to government officials, CEOs, economists and traders. The ramifications of a financial failure here will affect the entire US economy as well as companies and investors worldwide. And, while California may be the biggest state in trouble, it isn't alone.” - "California in Crisis, Financial Breakdown, Economy, Meltdown, Financial Failure, Unemployment, Budget Deficit, Recession - CNBC."

  10. 4 clicks Movement Most people choose to live in this region for L.A. (warm weather and future actors) or Nevada (more freedom of religion than other states) or (to earn money from gold mining Alaska and crab fishing).

  11. Movement (continued) There are many forms of transportation to transport goods and people such as plane, ship, car and bus. Goods are transported by plane, car, bus, trolley, ship and many more. 1 click

  12. Movement (continued) An interesting custom for the wealthy are to “air kiss” each other’s cheek. If one of these major transportation routes were to be interrupted, it would be bad because the routes depend on each other to deliver all of the goods so things may run smoothly. 2 clicks

  13. 7 clicks Region A unique characteristic about this region is that the two states Alaska and Hawaii are not touching the other states in the west region. Hawaii is made of islands far off the west coast in the Pacific Ocean and Alaska is north near Canada. Alaska has an economic impact on this region due to its gold mining and crab fishing in the Baring Sea. Los Angeles brings in people who want to be discovered as an actor or actress. Major tourist attractions include the Hollywood sign in California, Yellowstone Park in Wyoming and the Salt Lake in Utah. I send lots of love home. It’s so great hear. And tomorrow we’re going fishing out on the lake! Oh, well I’ve got to go to dinner! Love M
