5 themes of Geography

Place

• The human and physical characteristics of a location

• the imaginary lines on earth that run from the west to the east and measure how far north or south a location is from the equator (known as parallels)

• How and why people, goods, and ideas go from one place to another

Movement

• How and why people, goods, and ideas go from one place to another

• an area of places that have similar characteristics (Ohio, midwest, tornado alley)

• the exact address or latitude and longitude of a place

Region

• the imaginary lines on earth that run from the west to the east and measure how far north or south a location is from the equator (known as parallels)

• an area of places that have similar characteristics (Ohio, midwest, tornado alley)

• How humans depend on, modify, and adapt to their environment

Human Environmental Interaction

• The human and physical characteristics of a location

• the imaginary lines on the earth that run from the north to the south and measure how far east or west a location is from the prime meridian

• How humans depend on, modify, and adapt to their environment
