Day+1+-+Earth's+Little+Apple

How did we get to 1/32? By cutting the apple in four pieces and keeping one for 25% of land, 75% was removed for water. We then took the remaing piece and cut it in half. The half we removed were places too cold, too hot, too high, or too sandy for farming. Then we cut that piece in fourths for big cities in which have no place for farming, so we removed three pieces. With one more piece left we peeled the sliver of skin that represented earth's surface, which makes 1/32! Pretty cool, huh. ||

 * Earth's land that can be lived on was taught through cutting an apple. The core of the apple represented the core of the earth, the mushy part represented the mantle, and the skin represented the surface. The results were 1/32 of earth's surface is the amount of arable land. I was suprised by the small amount of land supported all human life!
