England is a main location for tourism, and is a great place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI choose Ireland because out of all the countries that we have learned about, I think this is the best one. One interesting fact is that Ireland was at one time very poor. Also they relyed on one crop, potatoes. They had gone through a famin that wiped out there whole potato crop and many died, but many came to America to restart their lives. That's why I liked to learn about Ireland

ReplyDeleteI chose to write about the Republic of Ireland. In 1922 the Republic of Ireland won its independence from the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland is different from North Ireland because North Ireland is still part the United Kingdom and they are mainly Protestants. The capital of the Republic of Ireland is Dublin. Also it is called the Emerald Isle because of beauty of the landscape staying green all year round. In the Republic of Ireland they have low lying areas that are rich in peat or plants that have partly decayed in water. Peats are the bogs or low lands. The reason chose the Republic of Ireland is because that is the part of Ireland my family came from.
ReplyDeleteThe country I am researching is Norway. Norway's capital is Oslo. Norway is famous for its fjords, which are narrow inlets in the sea which were carved out by steep slopes and glaciers long ago. Norway's fjords provide fish for food and export. Norway is also known for its Vikings that raided areas of Europ, Africa, and other countries many years ago. Norway has a very cold climate all year long.The Viking that discovered America,almost 1,000 years before Christopher Columbus,was Leif Ericson.
ReplyDeleteI have chosen Denmark to write this paragraph because I thought it was really fascinating. Denmark is the smallest of the five countries in Scandinavia and its capital is Copenhagen. The language that most people in Denmark speak is Danish and its native name is “Danmark”. The head of Denmark is Queen Margrethe II. The main religion is Protestant Lutheran. Denmark might not be the biggest part of Scandinavia but it is very interesting.

The main economic activities are farming and industry. The government of France is a democratic republic with a president and a prime minister. The main language of France is French, and the main religion is Roman Catholic. This is what I found out about the country of France.
ReplyDeleteThe country that I choose is the country is the Scandinavian country of Iceland. I choose Iceland because of its unique climate and place on the map. It is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which is a divergent boundary. This causes many hot springs and geysers. Geysers shoot hot water and steam out into the air. It has a cold climate but still has grass and good farming. I have learned from researching Iceland on my own that the Vikings named it Iceland and Greenland for their climates. The catch is that Iceland has better farming and is more green than Greenland. The Vikings wanted Iceland to themselves and wanted people to go to Greenland. Iceland is amazingly interesting.
ReplyDeleteI choose Norway which is in Scandinavia. Norway has many beautiful fjords, which are narrow inlets of the sea. It is bordered by one ocean and one sea. They are the Arctic Ocean and the North Sea. Part of Norway�s northern part is above the Arctic Circle. It has a mixed economy which includes agriculture, manufacturing, and industries.

Nearly one third of the people live in Dublin it's Capitol. Irish dancing is preformed all around the world even in the USA. One other thing I want to say is that the center of Ireland is a low-lying plain with rolling hills and that the coastal area's are rocky highlands. Those are some things I learned about Ireland.
ReplyDeleteThe land of Ireland is relatively a low lying area. Regular rainfall produces lush, green fields, that is why it's nickname is the Emerald Isle. The people of Ireland trace their ancestry back to the Celts. 60 precent of Ireland's people live in cities. One third of the population live in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. In the 1800's, farming was the main source of employement for many people, but disease destroyed the potato crop. Today, manufacturing employs more people than farming does.
ReplyDeleteI picked Iceland for this blog. Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavik. The climate of Iceland's coast is sub-polar oceanic. Iceland's official written and spoken language is Icelandic, a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse. Iceland's special feature are geysers.

ReplyDeleteThe country I have chosen is Iceland. Iceland is part of Scandinavia, and has a special feature, geysers. The island of Iceland sits on top of where two tectonic plates meet. The two plates are pulling away from each other causing hot magma to rise to the surface, which creates hot springs and geysers. Iceland has over 200 volcanoes but many are not active.
ReplyDeleteThe facts I have learned that I will share will be based on the country of Norway. The country of Norway is in Scandinavia. Norway's capital is Oslo. Norway is known for its many beautiful and scenic fjords, which are narrow inletss of the sea. The fjords were carved out by glaciers long ago.

Its three small neighbors to the northeast are known as the Benelux countries. The capital of France is Paris. In Paris, France, is the Effiel Tower, a famous landmark. France has a mild or warm climate and rich soil that is ideal for farming. Because of this, many grapes can be grown and are then turned into wine. The grapes grow so productively, that it is an area of specialization for France. Specialization is focusing efforts on certain economic activities to make the best of resources. Another of France's areas of specialization is cheese. Farmers use milk of dairy cattle and sheep to produce about 250 kinds of world famous cheese. It is then exported, along with other food products to countries that can't produce them.
ReplyDeleteThe country I chose is Sweden which is in Scandinavia. For several hundred years Sweden ruled Finland, its neighbor. Sweden is a constitutional monarchy.

London is the capital of England and many people of England live in London. London is also very popular in Europe. London also has very attractive sights like Big Ben which is a clock and bell that is very popular throughout London. Another sight is the Palace of Westminster which is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of The United Kingdom- the House of Lords and the House of Commons. England is a important country to know about in school.
ReplyDeleteSweden, one of the five countries of Scandinavia, is bordered by Norway and Finland. Sweden is the third largest country of what is known as the European Union. Long ago, Sweden was a very quiet, peaceful place, and very independent too. One day Sweden decided it was going to build up its empire, to form what is known as the Swedish Empire. The Swedish Empire began to take over different territories, such as Finland, to make it larger and more powerful. The empire existed until 1809, when Russia ended the reign of the famous empire. Sweden today is a constitutional monarchy as well as a parliamentary democracy. Sweden also has a successful economy. In 2010, Sweden was crowned fourth in the world for the Economist’s Democracy Index and ranked ninth in the United Nations’ Human Development Index.

A popular sport in the Netherlands is soccer (called football in Europe), and in fact, Holland was the runner-up in the 2010 Men’s World Cup. A fun fact about Holland is that 21% of its population is located under sea level.
ReplyDeleteThe country I am going to talk about is England. We learned so much about this country like how it is a constitutional monarchy, which is where the country has a king and queen but they only serve as the head of state while the parliament actually runs the country. I also learned about the flag, it is nicknamed the union jack and is red, white, and blue. The union jack is a combination of England (the cross of Saint George), Scotland (the cross of Saint Andrew), and Ireland (the cross of Saint Patrick). England is bordered by Scotland (northern), whales (western) and the North Sea as its border on the eastern side. In southeastern England the Thames River helped make London, the capital of England, a center for world trade.
