How do we look at the world? How do we look at the world? The Five Themes of Geography The Five Themes of Geography The Five Themes of Geography The Five Themes of Geography • Location World Continent Series – Europe 2007 Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links – hemisphere Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – – – – direction from other places water as links hemisphere prime meridian, equator, tropics of Cancer or Capricorn Location • Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address • Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – – – – direction from other places water as links hemisphere prime meridian, equator, tropics of Cancer or Capricorn – climate (coastal, mountainous) The Five Themes of Geography • Location • Place Place • Physical Characteristics Place • Physical Characteristics – size Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live – the languages people speak Place • Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live – the languages people speak – Unique features (wildlife or landforms) The Five Themes of Geography • Location • Place • HumanEnvironment Interaction World Continent Series – Europe 2007 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or - Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands + or - Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland + or - Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution + or - Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or - Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or • Positive Interactions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or • Positive Interactions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or • Positive Interactions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle • Negative Interactions Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or • Positive Interactions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle • Negative Interactions – nuclear accidents • Chernobyl plant in Ukraine Physical Map: Shows landforms such as mountains, rivers, elevation, valleys, etc. Political Map: Shows territorial borders, countries and their borders, and main cities.

The Five Themes of Geography • Location • Place • HumanEnvironment Interaction • Movement World Continent Series – Europe 2007 Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV , and surf the internet Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV , and surf the internet • Transportation: movement involving vehicles Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV , and surf the internet • Transportation: movement involving vehicles – Highways, railways, waterways, airways Movement • Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV , and surf the internet • Transportation: movement involving vehicles – Highways, railways, waterways, airways » automobiles, planes, boats, ships, bicycles, cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks The Five Themes of Geography • Location • Place • HumanEnvironment Interaction • Movement • Regions World Continent Series – Europe 2007 Regions • Describes an area of land – Regions • Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique Regions • Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique • How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area? Regions • Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique • How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area? • What languages are spoken?
