Location

Region
Place
Human/ Environment Interaction
Location
Where is it??
Location:
• There are two types of LOCATION!!
• Absolute- uses #’s to show
location
• Relative- describes the
location of a place in
relation to another place
Absolute Location:
• Absolute Location is found by
using…
• Two specific line types
• Latitude
• Longitude
Absolute Location:
• Latitude Lines
-also known as
parallels
Latitude lines are drawn
from:
East to West
Latitude lines measure:
North to South
Absolute Location:
• The Major Line of LATITUDE is the:
• Equator
• It splits the Earth into:
• the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres
Define Hemisphere:
• Half of a globe
(in our case the Earth)
Absolute Location:
• Longitude Lines
-also known as
Meridians
Longitude lines are drawn from:
North to South
Longitude lines measure:
East to West
Absolute Location:
• The Major Line of LONGITUDE is the:
• Prime Meridian
• It splits the Earth into:
• the Eastern and
Western Hemispheres
Relative Location:
• This is where an area is described
depending on where another area is!
• For example: The Galleria Mall is across
the street from the WP Public Library.
Movement
• How did they get there?
Movement:
• Movement describes how…
• People, products and ideas move by
transportation and communication.
Movement:
• What can move??
GOODS
MONEY
IDEAS
PEOPLE AND
PRODUCTS
Movement:
• How can things move??
WORD OF
MOUTH
COMPUTERS
FORMS OF
TRANSPORTATION
SATELLITES
TELEPHONES
Region
• How is this place like other places?
• How is it different?
Region:
• Areas/regions are chunks of land that
have something in common.
• Areas can be described by their
human & physical features.
• Regions can be:
BIG
or
small
Region:
• A region can be described by its
physical features.
• For example: In the Sahara Desert
region in Northern Africa, many
people value water.
Region:
• A region can also be described by its
human features.
• For example: Most people in the
Middle East region
speak Arabic.
Place
What is it like there?
Place:
• You can describe a place by its physical
features (made by nature) and human
features (made by humans).
What place
(state) is this?
Place: Where is this “place”?
Can you pick out
the physical
features?
Can you pick out
the human
features?
Human/Environment Interaction:
• How do we interact with our environment?
• Who lives there and what do they do?
HEI:
Human/Environment Interaction
explains how people use and
change their environment.
What humans do to nature and what
nature can do to humans.
Does the environment affect where we do these
activities?
