Today was another loud class. We started the class off by taking some notes on specific places on earth and where they get their origin from. We learned that there are three ways in which places get their names and how they are known. The first is the place's name. A toponym is the name given to a place on earth. Names are usually derived from people of prominence, religious affiliation, physical features, or origins of its settlers. The second is site. Site is the physical characteristic of a place. Characteristics include climate, water sources, topography, soil, vegetation, latitude, and elevation. The third is situation. Situation is the location of a place relative to there places. Half of this class was instructed by Patrick so I didn't learn much.
