Discussion of Maryland Geography

From Leslie:

Mrs. Weeg,
Yes, I have been very busy with my homework. Me and my dad have been working on these questions.

I think that MD is called America in Miniture because it has everything that all the country has, in Geography that is.

The four states that border MD are Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvaina, and West Virginia.

Calvert Cliffs help Geologists study by the fossils and everything.

It is called Delmarva because of the 3 states (Maryland, Delaware, and Virigina.).

Man is changing the Cheasapeake bay by littering and it kills the fish. That is why they have a limit on Rock Fish and are thinking about putting one on the Blue Crab.

Well I don't like high school a lot. Tonight it took me a couple of hours! Oh well. I'll see ya later!:)

From Mrs Weeg: Leslie... thanks for your answers. You say that Maryland has a little bit of "everything that all the country has." Can you explain that a little more for Olya, Michael and David? They have never been to Maryland or to the United States. Jeremy, Elizabeth (Beth) and Megan, you can answer that too if you like.

From Megan:

1. Man is changing the Chesapeake Bay by draining some parts of it to make more farmland. Man is also poluting the air and the water around and in the Chesapeake Bay which is killing plants and animals. Last of all man is also dropping the fish and crab population. 2. We can help save the bay by stop draining parts of the bay for farmland. We can stop poluting the air and water around and in the Chesapeake Bay. Last we can also limit the fishing and crabing.

Nice job, Megan... See if you can find out why the crabbers are not happpy with some planned new laws.

Olya, Michael and David,

We are still waiting to hear a little about the geography of your country.

Jeremy and Beth.. give us your thoughts on some of these issues.

Hoping to hear from you soon!
