MINI Cooper Clubman

In my opinion, the MINI Cooper Clubman would be best for me and anyone else looking for an afordable car for a family or an individual. The average MPG is 46 which is great mileage for those constantly on the go or those who want to save some money. Since the car is pretty small those who have troublle backing in up in crowed parking lots will have a better advantage of avoiding those horriable accidents.

Gnomonic Projection ! :)


Which map projection is your favorite? Why? Include a picture.


My favorite map projection is gnomonic. The gnomonic map determines distance and direction across the oceans which may come in handy when planning a cruise or thinking about going on a nice vacation. One bad part about the map is that it only shows half of the world . That being said, you may find yourself looking on a different type of map if the ocean you are searching for is not shown on the map anywhere.

Astronomy ! :)


  "Which of the four sciences in Earth Science seems the most interesting to you? Why? Include at least one picture."



 Astronomy seems most interesting to me since I have a better all-around understanding of it. I like to learn about the solar system and all of it's beautiful planets . I love the simple fact that you can never learn too much about our universe and there may even come a time when wonderful things are discovered years and years later. Since I do have an intrest in astronomy , it makes me more aware of my own enviorment . Many people may also understand more than whats beyond Earth .
