NV Finalist | National Geographic Bee 2011


I’m a similar vein Yakko welcome to
Fabulous Las Vegas
you
this is Lake Mead Lake Mead is largest
man-made lake in the Western Hemisphere
Lake Mead is also a national recreation
area this lake was made when Hoover Dam
dammed up the Colorado River all of
these islands that you see used to be
underwater Lake means water level has
been receding in the past years due to
UM water use in Las Vegas this is the
famous Hoover Dam the hoover dam was
constructed during the Great Depression
to create your tricity from the Colorado
River when he was finished in 1936 it
was then the largest hydroelectric
faculty in the world who were again
created Lake me from the water from the
Colorado River even today Hoover Dam
provides electricity to communities in
Nevada Arizona and California
to me being green means caring for the
environment by taking action actions
like recycling using alternative energy
driving less and using less paper for
example putting typed documents on the
flash drive instead of printing them out
saves both paper and trees since they’re
there is lots of Sun in Las Vegas using
solar energy instead of burning fossil
fuel for electricity reduces pollution
and provides a clean alternative to coal
if I could trade places with any world
leader I would trade places with UN
Secretary General Ban ki-moon mr. moon
gets to help resolve international
conflicts I can use my knowledge of
geography to do that he also gets to
interact with ambassadors from a
different countries he also gets to
promote peace in all nations if I can go
anywhere in the world i would go to Rio
de Janerio Brazil I would like to go
there because of its diverse culture and
fun lifestyle while I’m there I’ll
celebrate carnival and party real sugar
loaf mountain is home of Christ the
Redeemer this 130-foot statue of Jesus
is a UNESCO World Heritage Site this
city is also known for its warm sandy
beaches to mash all that information
into my head I use family and friends to
quiz me randomly also when I’m studying
I use many atlases to locate each place
that I’m reading about I do that so it
stays in my mental map building an
accurate mental map is a huge part of
memorizing information without a good
mental map information would be just
words without any kind of understanding
if I were put in charge of the world for
just today the first issue I would take
care of is the issue of miscommunication
I would invent the language I would
invent a language that would be used by
every nation to communicate peacefully
with other nations and people with a
with a universal language this will
break the bear
years of miscommunication the nations
and all people can talk with each other
kindly hey nat geo did you know that in
downtown lima peru there is a large
brass statue dedicated to Winnie the
Pooh my favorite geography fact is that
the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick Canada
has the highest tides on earth with 55.8
feet when I’m older I would like to do
biomedical research I would like to do
this because there are many diseases
that can be cured we just haven’t found
it yet I will I would like to be one of
the people who find them out because
diseases affect many people around the
world finding a cure for some of these
diseases would save both money and many
lives
