The red lines apart of the straight line going across the middle represent the elevation down to 15 ft below the river bank. The green line is the depth from 25 below to 22 below the river bank. The Blue line represents elevation between 22 and 15 ft below. The Green Box is the area where there is foliage when the water levels are low in the summer. In yellow are the counts of clams that were found when we dug them up. The number of clams directly correlates to the number of clams found. Where the river was slow we found more clams and where it was fast we found less. The sand bank had some because the sand was saturated and no water was moving across it fast.

Four Maps of Different Mapness

choropleth map is a thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned inwhich shows to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map, such as population density or per-capita income.
The proportional symbol technique uses symbols of different sizes to represent data associated with different areas or locations within the map. For example, a disc may be shown at the location of each city in a map, with the area of the disc being proportional to the population of the city.
A dot distribution map is as a map type that uses a dot symbol to show the presence of a feature or phenomenon. Dot maps rely on a visual scatter to show spatial pattern.

Isarithmic maps, also known as contour maps, depict smooth continuous phenomena such as precipitation.

My Happy Place

My Happy Place is the place where my High school was in Bowdon, Ga.

My Favorite Animal

My Favorite animal would have to be the Bikini Bottom Sea Sponge. I like this animal because of its laid back and happy go lucky lifestyle. Nothing can get this sponge down. The Bikini Bottom Sea Sponge enjoys playing with sea snails as well as hunting jelly fish. Its none acquaintances are star fish and a special breed of squirrel none as the Texas Sea Squirrel. Some of the Bikini Bottom Sea Sponge's enemies are, but not limited to, plankton, squids, and flounder. Bikini Bottom Sea Sponges are known to live in in submerged fruit particularly pineapples.

As You Can See The Bikini Bottom Sea Sponge Is A Happy Joyous Creature
