There are tropical rainforests that cover more than 50% of Belize. There are indeed some rare species that live in the Belize rainforests including Jaguars, Scarlet Macaws, and many others. On the coast of Belize, there is a 175 feet long Barrier Reef that is mixed with lots of caves and islands. This is a popular tourist spot and creates lots of money for the country. There are also many mountains in Belize on the south side. This is also a very popular tourist spot. Last but not least 58 miles east of Belize is the opening to an ancient ice age cave called the Blue Hole and is a popular diving site.]]> 2018-10-03 13:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288594752 Climet alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288599589 Belize can get hot! The hottest temperature ever in Belize was 110 degrees Fahrenheit, that's really hot! Unfortunately, the average high for one day is around 80 degrees. It doesn't get too cold.

Like bananas because of their land to grow crops, they can also grow cacao, citrus, sugar, fish, shrimp, and all of this is exported to other countries for money. They also have a lot of different types of fish. They also sell the fish for money. Last they have many mining opportunities. They have found dolomite, bauxite, bauxite, cassette, and even small amounts of gold. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288610357 Roman Catholic alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288613295 This is a Roman Catholic church that is in Belize. The Roman Catholic is the most popular religion in Belize. Roman Catholics are mostly the same thing as regular Catholic, they all believe in the same things, but their rules are somewhat different. This is because Catholic priests came to Belize to from Honduras around 1830. Like any other Religion, this Religion has holidays some of them are Christmas, Easter, and many others that are common in America.]]> 2018-10-03 13:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288613295 Protesten alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288613941 Protestant is the second most common religion in Belize. They are very similar to Roman Catholics. The only difference is how they run their churches. Belize has the highest Protestant population than any other central American country. This is because Belize used to be ruled under Britain until it became its own country in 1954; therefore Britain had a significant influence on creating the highest Protestant religion in all of Central America. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288613941 Smaller Religions alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288614225 As you can see from the picture below, there are a lot of smaller religions in Belize. There is some Buddhism religion. Buddhism is mostly the same as all the other religions Belize, but it is more spiritual. Some other religions in Belize are Muslim, Islam, Pentecostal, Anglican, and Seventh-day Adventist. Although about 9.4% of people in Belize do not follow any religion.]]> 2018-10-03 13:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288614225 Freed From Britan alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288615631 In the picture below, Belize is celebrating its independence from Britain! Belize was Britain's last colony because everyone rebelled against them and won. (Like America) Belize got free from Britain's rule in 1981 September 21. Because of Belize's history with Britain, their official language is English, but because everyone around them speaks Spanish, therefore their most common language is Spanish. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288615631 Malaria alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288615915 In 2007, Belize had a significant amount of malaria, and no one wanted to travel there because of it. Belize did not like having malaria and wanted to get rid of it because of medicine that they invented in 2016 there were only five reported cases of malaria. Now according to a travel website, if you go to Belize, there isn’t a high risk of getting malaria. According to the website, unless you are pregnant, you should worry about getting malaria if you travel their.

First of all, they have many pyramids, two of them are the tallest structures in the whole country! They also have a lot of old structures, most of the old building got destroyed in hurricanes, but the Paslow build (a random post office) survived! And is still around today I am even 99% sure that it is still operating today!  There is also a lot of interesting houses in Belize. They have cool designs and are unique to Belize. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288616164 Senet alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288620919 The picture below is of the Senate doing their job, all of the people there got elected in one of many ways. The first ways are that the prime minister chooses you, the rest are elected from other groups of people. There is also a president of the Senate that watches over the meetings and helps guide the topics. The senators choose this person. Each senator has a term length of 5 years, but the number of times you hold the positions has no limit other than your imagination. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288620919 Biggest Imports/Exports alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288622444 Belize esports all types of things including, sugar, bananas, citrus, clothing, fish, wood, types of oil, beverages, and tobacco.  Although they export all of this stuff, their main export is sugar and bananas. Their trading has been growing as a result of low export prices for these objects. They also Import a lot of electronic devices like computers and phones and just about anything else that has to do with technology. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288622444 Currency alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288623029 Bellow is a picture of Belize dollars and their coins. The exchange rate is One Belize dollar for exactly half of one American dollar. Because of how easy it is to convert American and Belize dollars, in Belize American dollars, are used. Some businesses even prefer American dollars rather than Belize dollars. ]]> 2018-10-03 13:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288623029 Income alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288623153 The minimum wage in Belize is 3.30 per house in Belize dollars, about 1.65 US dollars. This results in about $321 in American Dollars per month! However the average income for men is 922 American dollars, but unfortunately, the average income for a woman is less than themes being at $882 in American dollars.  (The picture below is on a random family that happens lives in Belize.)]]> 2018-10-03 13:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288623153 Bottom alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288677252 Bellow is a house that a poor person might live in, About 30-40% of the Belize population lives in poverty. These people got fired from their jobs if they ever had on in the first place and then after that, it is hard for them to find another job because they probably don’t have a good education. 76.9% of Belize population (Over 15) can read and write. Most of the people in poverty cannot read or write, which is the reason it is so hard for them to find jobs. ]]> 2018-10-03 14:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288677252 Middle alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288679183 The middle-class lifestyle is better than the poverty people, but it is not the same as the United States. Most families have enough money for food and a place to stay, that is it. Most middle-class families send their kids to school when its free, but after they reach a certain age it is not free anymore.  School in Belize is free until they are 14. Very few people in Belize go on with education. If people from Belize do go on about half of the people, have a hard time and quit. ]]> 2018-10-03 14:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288679183 Top alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288679565 Not many people that were born in Belize become rich. The rich people that live there now mostly moved to Belize after they got rich. (See the picture of a house they might live in below) There is also a program that is trying to get people in America to retire in their country. Middle-class people in America would be considered very rich in Belize, and people would not have to learn a new language because most people speak Spanish and English. There are also tax benefits and many other things that are trying to get Americans to retire in Belize.]]> 2018-10-03 14:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/288679565 House of Representatives alenatadelman2024 https://padlet.com/alenatadelman2024/bicyasj65z3q/wish/289420683 Below is a picture of the present members of the house of representatives.
