Document Summary

Flora and fauna that are available in a specific place. Location in terms of latitude and longitude. Location productivity wealth and health. Needs to explain why something is related to another. Development explains the location of the country. This doesn"t make sense because location comes first! Should be able to look at the world and see that there is very clear covariation between geographic location and development. Covariation - the values of each of these variables change together. Doesn"t mean they have to go up and down together. Some other variable that is actually the main driver of the pattern we observe. As ice cream sales increase, the number of people who drown also increases.
