D Block Physical Geography - I believe the words were "Straight up work block"
Get after it! I'll come around and help where needed. Your questions are:
- What is meant by an erosional coast? What are the expected features of such a coast? (p.302-3)
- What is meant by a depositional coast? What are the expected features of such a coast? (p.304-5)
- Describe barrier islands and their hazards as they relate to human settlement. (p.312-13)
- Describe some of the problems caused by sea level rise in urban areas and wetlands (p.312-14)
C Block Human Geography - So, language. From Babbel magazine..."Why is Language Important?"
Language made the transmission of culture possible. As it stands today, it’s the basis of our entire worldview and way of life. Everything ranging from social norms to customs, shared histories, mythologies, religions and art forms are transmitted and mediated through languageCultural identity is heavily tied up with language and language is ultimately important because it is the primary means through which humans have the ability to communicate and interact with one another. From the Assembly of First Nations "Languages and Culture"
Our languages allow us to share and communicate culture, world views, knowledge systems, values, traditions, customs, history, spirituality, and social and political identity to future generations. Our languages are living; they come from the land and they’re integral to our sense of self and a key aspect of self-determination.
From yesterday, you'll need to look at language families from pages 146-149 of the Cultural Landscape book in order to fill in a chart for me. To help you may also use the following online texts:
From the Guardian in 2015 A language family tree - in pictures

A Block Criminology - You have four questions to answer for me:
