OlgiIal Siock i' The Five Themes of Geography :Location Position on the Eartht Surface Location can be described in two ways. Relative location refers to the location ofa place in relation to another place. Absolute location (exact locnion) is usually expressed in degrees of longitude and latitude. The islands ofJapan ale located between the Sea ofJapan and the Pacific Ocean, on the eastern side ofthe Asian continent. Tokyo, Japan, is located at 36"N latirude, 140"E longitude. '.Dt^^I,TTLL Physical and Humar Characreristicr in the characteristics that distinguish location. It can be described in physical characteristics such as water and landforms, climate, etc., or in hurnan characteristics such as languages spoken, religion, government, etc. Place is expressed a Nine ofthe world's fourteen highest mountain peaks are located in the Himalal a Moun tains of Aria. ':Relat ionsh ios within Places Humans and the Environment This theme includes studies ofhorv people deper.rd on the environment, how people adapt to and change the envilonment, ar.rd the impact oftechnology on the environment. Cities, roads, planted fields, and terraced hillsides are all examples of mant malk on a place. A place's mark on man is reflected ir.r the kind of homes built, the clothing worn, the work done, and the foods eaten. The use ofirrigation in Indja has increased the country's average yearly yield ofrice. O1999 br E\d-\lo., Corp \ir. L\lC -i. ffiu.'n.ot Human Interactions on the Eath Movement describes and analyzes the changing patterns caused by human interactions on the Eartht surface. Everything moves. People migrate, goods are transporred, and ideas are exchanged. Modern technology connects people worldwide through advanced forms of communication. There has been a shift ofpopulation to cities in marry pans ofAsia. This shift, plus increased industrialization, has resulted in major air pollution in tle urban areas. @'oo, How They Form and Change Regions are a way to describe and compare places. A region is defined by its common characteristics ald/or features. It might be a geographic region, an economic region, or a cultural region. Geographic region: Indonesia consists entirely of islands. Economic region: The OPEC countries produce most of tle oil used by Japan. Cultural region: Arabic is the official language of sweral countries in southwest Asia. O1999 by Em-Moor Corp- Aiia .

Favorite foods, music, religious beliefs, and traditions are carried along witl.r household and personal belongings. Children carry parts oftheir culture too. The following games are played in Asia. Do they remind you of games vou have played? Manv versions of some games have moved around the world. The games may have different names and slightly different rules, but the basic gan.res remain the sarrte. Follorv the dilections to play these games from India with your classmates. Paandi (Paahn-DEE) Paandi is from India. It is played the same way as hopscotch. The "court" can be drau n in nno different u.rys. staft ln rhe first round, each player throws a stone on the first space (then the second space, third space, and so on) and hops back and forth on one foot, avoiding the space with the stone. In the second round, each player throws the stone to claim a "home." The player's initials are written in the home space. Then the game is played as in the first round, except Player Two cannot st€p on Player One's home, and vice versa. Note that each time a playel has completed a full round successfully, he or she claims an additional home space. The game is over when no one can complete a round. The player wirh the most home spaces is the winner. Pagade (Puh-6ah-DE) This garne is a popular board game in India among children of all ages. lt is similar to the Amelican game Sorryl6. These directions are for a simplified versior.r of Pagade. You will need a game board, dice, and playing pieces (pawns). 1. Place youl four pawns at "stan." The object ofthe game is to get all ofyour playcrs around the entire board countercloclavise and into the "home" space. 2. On your turn, roll the dice. Find rhe sum of the numbers shown on the dice. Move one pawn that many spaces. Or', move one pawn the number ofspaces ol1 the fi$t die and another pawn the nu.mber on the second die. (lfyou roll two blanhs, you cannot move for rhat turn aL pla1.) 3. Ifyou land on a space occupied by an opponent)s pawnr your opponentt parvn is sent back to "start." I[two ofyour pawns ar€ on the same space, they are called a "pair'." A pair can send a single pawn back to "start," but only a pair can send another pair back. Pairs can play together ifyou roll a double. Pairs can split up anltime. .\!i E\lL ,:i O1999 br Elan Nloor CoIP.
