learned that they are similar to us and they are fairly near us. I have also learned that they have some of
the same animals and plants that we do.

There is not much difference between our squares. We are mostly the same. Reasons why:
1. We have the same biome.
2. We are fairly close to each other we are about: 2 hours away from each other.
3. We have the same animals, types of plants, and trees.
4. We have about the same latitude.

5. We are both beside big bodies of water
6. We have the same type of ocean current
The conclusion that I made was that we are mostly the same. We have the same biomes and plants. The
animals that grow and live there are also mostly the same. Our latitude doesn’t have that much of a
difference between them. We are about 2 hours away from each other so we are mostly very close to
each other. We are both next to big bodies of water. We have the same type of ocean current. Overall I
learned that we are mostly the same event thought we are not in the same country. I also learned that
we have crab apples and that these kinds of apples are wild apples.
