I chose the city of Philadelphia because I am from there, so I know it better than anywhere else. I made the tour by thinking of my favorite places to eat in Philly and then finding them in google earth. Next, I found pictures of them online and added the pictures and some quick descriptions. Last, I recorded the tour by going to add and then tour and pressing the record button.
Philadelphia ia great city to do a tour of because it has many different ethnic groups, like vietnamese, italian, and mexican. All of these group immigrated to America because of its site, and to Philadelphia because its location along the eastern seaboard, and its situation, being in the U.S. and close to New Jersey, Delaware, and New York.
Philadelphia’s situation affect its economy because it is close to many major cities like Washington D.C. and New York. This makes it easy to communicate and trade, but takes away some possible jobs and industry from Philadelphia. In terms of site, Philadelphia is conveniently located by the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, which is good for trade. It is also close to the beach, which means more people want to live in Philadelphia, or just pass through on the their way to the beach.
Google Earth could be used practically to measure long distances, such as those between cities, or to see how developed a certain area is by viewing how bright it is at night or the conditions of the buildings from the sky.
