Check out this link.  Explore the map.  If you hit the "Add Map Labels" button, it will make a lot more sense.

Please explore the map, pick a location (it can be anywhere large or small) and respond to these questions:

1. What do you notice about the color patterns, and what broad conclusions do you draw from this information?


2. What events or circumstances do you think has caused or contributed to this situation?


3. Is this a problem?  Should/can anything be done about this?  Why or why not?



One sentence answers are not acceptable.
