5 Themes of Geography

Location ~ Absolute (using degrees of latitude & longitude) orRelative (using terms like “near” or “west of” or “above”)

ASK Yourself: Where might this place be specifically located? Place ~ Physical (landforms, climate, etc.) AND human characteristics (population, city, buildings)

ASK Yourself: What is special about this place? What makes it different from other places?

Region ~ Similarities of a place like language, culture,and historical backgrounds

ASK Yourself: How is the place described like other places near or around it but different from another place far away?

Movement ~ How people, goods, information and culture get to particular places

ASK Yourself: Is there movement of people, goods or ideas from one place to another far away?

Human-Envionment Interaction~ Describes how humans have changed a place (highways & bridges) and how humans adapt to the environment (clothing that they wear)

Ask Yourself: How have people affected this environment?
