1)  This map shows you how densely populated some areas in the world are.  Its clear that the more densely populated ones are in China, India, Indonesia, and Central Europe.  Are the more populated areas developed or developing countries? Why?

2)  This map shows the rate at which each country's population is growing and when it will double.   Why do you think some countries population will double before others?

3) This map shows the amounts of people living in cities and urbanized areas.  It says that this amount of people is growing considerably, due to the demand for fresh water and sewage.  Why do you think it is expected to increase about 27% in the next 20 years?

4) This map shows which countries receive what amounts of fresh water per year.  This is soon to be the number one global concern of the 21st century.  Why will it take centuries for these developing countries to get proper water irrigation?

5) This map shows the amount of carbon polluting our air.  Since people are starting to live in cities and urban areas, how will the carbon pollution will cause more and more of a threat? How can  we prevent some of the bad consequences of carbon poising?

6) This map shows the amount of heat in different areas in the country.  Since they say the surface temperature will increase 11 degrees in the next hundred years, do you think our future generation should be concerned about global warming? Since carbon pollution plays a big part in this?

7) This map shows the forests that are in the countries.  It tells us that a lot of our forests were lost over the past 30 years.  In the past 30 years, a lot of countries have had more cities and towns.  That is a major way are destroying our forests.  Again since people are urbanizing, how could these pose as a major threat to our forests and plants in the world?

8) This map shows the land and how it is being used.  There is still a lot of land used for farming and other agricultural uses.  How could overuse of the land destroy any further uses for it?

9)  This map shows the temperatures in bodies of water all over the world.  This varies greatly.  It also shows us the bleaching of coral reefs.  If we continue pollution at this rate we could destroy coral reefs and that is where 25% of ocean life lives.  This could put a lot of species endangered.  How could stricter/more policies on fishing affect the wildlife and the fishers who make a living off of it?
