Five Basic Themes of Geography Location Movement 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Place Relationships Regions Location- where places are located on the surface of the earth Place- the physical and human characteristics of a place Relationships- the interaction of people and the environment Movement- movement and interaction of people Regions- areas with similar characteristics The term geography comes from two Greek roots – “geo” for earth and “graph” for write. Geographers study the physical and cultural features of the earth. ©2013HappyEdugator 1. Location - Where is it? Why is it located there? Absolute location is given in degrees of latitude and longitude. Relative location depends upon point of reference, e.g. near, far, a short drive. 2. Place - What is it like? Physical Characteristics - landforms (mountains, plains, etc.), bodies of water (oceans, lakes, bay, etc.), ecosystems (soil, plants, animals, and climate) Human Characteristics - bridges, roads, buildings, culture, language All places have features that distinguish them from other places 3. Relationships - How do people interact with and change their environment? Depend on the environment Adapt to the environment Modify the environment 4. Movement - How are people and places linked by communication and the flow of people, ideas and goods? Transportation, communication, trade Patterns of movement such as migration Linkages and connections 5. Regions - What are their unifying features and how do they form and change over time? Regions are a basic unit for geographic study. (Midwest) Geographers divide the world into regions to help them interpret (Great Lakes) Regions can be defined on the basis of: physical and human characteristics ©2013HappyEdugator Name: Where is it?
