Mexico Maps ~

Baja California

Information about my map: Baja California Mexico is the Second-longest peninsula on earth. Official language is Spanish with many indigenous languages spoken. Almost 75% of the Baja population lives in 2 cities located at the border it shares with the United States. The Tijuana Border is the most crossed international border in the world.

Climate ~ Baja Mexico can generally be considered warm and dry throughout the year. The northeast of Baja has desert throughout much of its area and has higher temperatures as a result. The northwest is cool by the Pacific Ocean and experiences lower temperatures on average during the winter. To the south Baja Sur gets more tropical. In between, there are many micro climates depending on location and altitude.

Population ~ Home to some of the world's friendliest people, Baja Mexico is spread out and sparsely populated. Over 75% of the population lives along the northernmost border. It presently has an estimated total population of just under 3 million with almost half of these people living in the very northwest corner of the peninsula in the city of Tijuana.

 Begining the project, we used a canvas, napkins and a paint brush. We twisted the napkins, to make the curves/road then dipped it in glue and put it up there. We painted it the next day, my colors were purple and red. Then the next day we used brown and gold. The brown looked like melted chocolate.

The picture above this one is my finished project then the bottom one is mine in the hall, Mrs. Spruill is connecting the maps.
