PRESENTATION OUTLINE
AMAZON FORESTS
- My first flight out of the U.S. went 4,000 miles and landed in The Amazon Rainforest (3° S, 60° W); it has tons of species of animals and is a wonderful place to visit I mainly took this trip to get out of thr country and to live new experiences.

ANDES MOUNTAINS
- For my second trip I flew to the Andes Mountains. I discovered that they were formed by glaciers long ago and that it connects to the Amazon Rainforest, but I still traveled 2000 miles to see the highest peak, Aconagua which is located 32° S, 70° W.

PLATEAUS
- My next trip was to fly 6,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean to a high veld in Swaziland. I did a scientific study and realized that the rocks there are almost the oldest on Earth and its in 26° S, 31° E.

DESERTS
- Continueing my trip was flying 3,500 miles to the Sahara Desert, its the 3rd largest desert in the world. Its roughly located at 23° N, 13° E. I tried to survive a week there and learned that almost nothing lives there, but there's about a thousand species of plants inhabit it.
SEAS
- Next I flew 820 miles to the Dead Sea, its famous for its high salt water that almost nothing lives in it. I wanted to test if any bacteria can survive if i put it in it, but I needed to go to my next location before I could do so. This wonder is located 31° N, 35° E, near Jerusalem.

FJORDS
- Then I flew 2,400 miles to the one of the more uninteresting trips I visited. I was flying to the Geirangerfjord in western Norway and found out that its a great place to catch salmon. This wonderful fishing place is located on 61° N, 7° E.

RIVERS
- For my next trip, I drove 5,400 miles to the Mekong River. It goes for about 2,700 miles before entering the South China Sea. Its home of many endangered species and is roughly located 15° N, 106° E. We went on a boat ride and even saw Cambodia's capital (Phnom Penh).

PLAINS
- For my next trip i flew 3,800 miles to one of my unique experiences that happened. We went off in the Nullarbar Plain in western australia and we drove across the flat land for several hours, observing the cool wildlife along the way, and almost ran over a kangaroo. We ate at many restaurants (which is why we went here) along the way and then we arrived at the airport.

DAMS
- I made it 1,000 miles to Minnesota and drove back home (approximately 45° N, 94° W) and noticed something I haven't before, I encountered people fishing off the river dam. I fished with them, catching some bass, but releasing them before I left and came home a new person.
