The type of Geography that shows the natural features of the earth's surface, including land formations, climate, currents, and distribution of flora and fauna

The type of Geography that shows the interaction between human beings and their environment in particular places and across spatial areas

Factors that show how people organize for production, distribution and consumption of key goods/services, taxes, industries, agriculture, jobs, availability of resources, and so on; it also addresses how people answer the economic questions of What to produce? How to produce? For whom to produce?

Factors that define characteristics such as language, religion, leisure activity, customs, traditions, food, clothing; these factors also relate to population density, immigration, cultural diversity, lifestyle, leisure time, traditional roles within society, the impact of cultural customs and traditions and so on.

Factors that include the functions and procedures of government, laws, and elected officials; political aspects of a situation; factors that often deal with the topic of power and control: Who has it? How did they get it? Who wants it? How will that individual/group achieve various levels of influence and power?

Factors that include examining the physical environment and/or geographical setting that impacts people in a given region or the at the outcome of an historical event; these factors also include how the physical geography affects resource distribution, political power, social/cultural factors; it may also include conservation and the changing aspects of resource management.

Focuses on movement of people, products, and ideas and the impact of that movement on regions of contact.

Examines how people, places, and environments change across eras; also explores the effects of these changes on physical and humans factors of a place

Processes that include the effects of weather, tectonic forces, and soil-building processes in the four physical spheres of the earth: the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere and within major world regions.

Patterns that examine factors that influence climate regions/biomes, ecosystems, and the location of landforms

Patterns that include physical factors (climate, available resources....) and human factors (buildings, transportation networks, jobs...) influence the where people live and how large populations grow.

Examines the growth, movement, and characteristics of world population. It also includes how push/pull factors and physical geography affect the routes and flows of human migration.

Examines borders that divide land into city, county, state, and national units. For example: Brooklyn is a bourough within Kings County within New York City within New York State within the USA.

maps that depict land and water forms and other natural features

Maps that indicate special information such as population density, land use, resources, climate zones

simple representations using symbols

Graphs used to make comparisons of data

Graphs used to determine change over time of given datasets

Graphs used to indicate change over time and allow comparison of data

Graph used to compare parts to the whole

A graph of plotted points that show the relationship between two sets of data.

these are maps that represent data based on relative size of a place in relationship to a particular factor being measured. Common measures are population, per capita GDP, etc.

summarizes an area's demographic structure in stacked horizontal bar graphs ordered by increasing age groups; each side represents a different gender

can be used for factual or statistical data and make comparison, analysis, summarization, inferences and conclusions easier and more concise than expository text.

navigational system involving satellites and computers that can determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth by computing the time difference for signals from different satellites to reach the receiver

A computer application used to store, view, and analyze geographical information, especially maps.

MR HELP. movement, region, human/environmental interaction, location, place

Movement of people, goods or ideas across places. Where and why do people travel or move?

Regions are units on the earth's surface that have unifying characteristics such as having the same climate or all sharing similar industries.

Location of a place is defined according to its latitude and longitude. Pinpointing something with exact co-ordinates in relation to the Equator and Prime Meridian.

Place is something that characterizes or distinguishes somewhere from somewhere else on Earth. These physical and human characteristics can include landforms, waterways, people, climate, languages, communication, and transportation.

A mnemonic for the 5 themes of Geography

Date or time when the map was last accurate.

Grid to use co-ordinates to find places easily

Title or name that accurately describes what the map is about

Source. Where did the information on the map come from?

Author. The person or group responsible for the map's accuracy.

Index or a list of points of interest on the map.

Legend. Something that describes what certain icons or pictures on a map represent.

Scale. Something that tells the reader the true size of the map.

a physical process that creates Mountains, rifts, as well as igneous and metamorphic rocks

a physical process that creates Decomposition and soil formation

large natural elevation of the earth's surface rising abruptly from the surrounding level; higher than a hill

body of land surrounded by water on three sides

any land area surrounded entirely by water

a body of salt water not as large as an ocean and often nearly surrounded by land

a huge body of salt water; oceans cover nearly 71 percent of Earth's surface

summer, fall, winter, and spring occur because of the tilt in the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit

imaginary lines that circle the Earth- they measure distance north or south of the equator in degrees up to 90 degrees

imaginary lines that measure distance in degrees east or west from the prime meridian

23.5 degree tilt on a central axis

365 1/4 days- affects seasons
