Geographic Definition

The first step in any regional study is to define the region's geographical location. Locate several authoritative sources that describe the location of your region. Go to several maps and corroborate the source's definition of the location of your country. Write your own definition of the geographic location of your country and post it as a comment on this page. Read some of your classmate's definitions and see if you might want to refine your definition. Finally, place a link to a chart or map that you feel most demonstrates your definition.

  3. I think china is a very populous country. It has the most people up in the north and east part of the country and along the river. To the west of China there aren’t nearly as many people. There are actually uninhabited areas.
