5 themes of geography

• the study of the interrelationship between people and their physical environment

• An area in which everyone shares in one or more distinctive characteristics

location

• the position that something occupies on Earth's surface

• the study of the interrelationship between people and their physical environment

• An area in which everyone shares in one or more distinctive characteristics

• A collection of computer hardware and software that permits spatial data to be collected, recorded, stored, retrieved, manipulated, analyzed, and displayed to the user.

Place

• a region defined by popular feelings and images rather than by objective data

• A natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed

• A specific point on Earth distinguished by a particular character.

• The meridian, designated at 0° longitude, which passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.

Human Environment Interaction

• Actions or processes that involve the entire world and result in making something worldwide in scope.

• the study of the interrelationship between people and their physical environment

• Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, Region

• a resource that cannot be reused or replaced easily (ex. gems, iron, copper, fossil fuels)

Movement

• A region defined by the particular set of activities or interactions that occur within it

• A map that shows mountains, hills, plains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.

• distance north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees

• how people, goods, and ideas get from one place to another

Region

• the position that something occupies on Earth's surface

• an area defined by one or more natural or cultural characteristics that set it apart from other areas

• A natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed

• An area in which everyone shares in one or more distinctive characteristics

Formal Region

• An area in which everyone shares in one or more distinctive characteristics

• Beliefs, customs, and traditions of a specific group of people.

• Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, Region

• A region defined by the particular set of activities or interactions that occur within it

Renewable resource

• A collection of computer hardware and software that permits spatial data to be collected, recorded, stored, retrieved, manipulated, analyzed, and displayed to the user.

• distance north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees

• A natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed

• the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

Non-renewable resources

• Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, Region

• A natural resource that can be replaced at the same rate at which the resource is consumed

• the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.

Genetically modified organism (GMO)

• an organism produced by copying genes from a species with a desirable trait and inserting them into another species

• the distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian

• distance north or south of the Equator, measured in degrees

• A type of map that displays one or more variables-such as population, or income level-within a specific area.
