In absolute terms, the United States generates almost twice as much electricity from gas as the second biggest generator: the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation is a net exporter of gas and coal, whereas the United States is a net importer of these goods. Gas Power relates to geography because gas is important to every country.

In this blog topic I chose to gather more information about the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. This is a television game show which offers large cash prizes for answering questions correctly. As the money increase the difficulty of the questions increase also. The maximum cash prize in the original version which is the British version is one million pounds. This game show orginated in the United Kingdom, where it is hosted by Chris Tarrant. The original name of the game show was Cash Mountain. It first aired in the UK on September 4, 1998. The first winner of the UK version was Kevin Olmstead and the first winner of the US verion was John Carpenter.

Southeast Asia

I chose this video because it showed a lot of their traditions such as dancing, sports, and festivals. Also during the video it showed pictures of the different landscapes from cities, mountains, bodies of water and deserts. Although there isn't anyone speaking, there is music being played that I assume is from Asia and as the pictures change facts about asia come up. The video is very helpful because of teh pictures and facts they show us.
