12. 5 Themes of Geography
Movement
Transportation - Global
Region
An area - Major / Sub regions
Human Environment Interaction
Changing the environment
Houston Ship Channel / Sea Wall
Location
Relative - General Direction - Conroe is north of Houston
Absolute - Exact - Latitude / Longitude
Street Address
Place
Physical and Human Characteristics - Identity to a person or area
13. Location
Where is it?
Absolute: A location can be absolute (specific) as in coordinates of a map using longitude and latitude
Relative: A location can be relative - examples: next door, nearby, a short drive, down the road a ways. Or, it can be in the same general location as
another location - example: next to the post office.
Place
A place is an area that is defined by everything in it. All places have features that give them personality and distinguish them from other places.
If you refer to your school as a place, then that place would include walls, windows, gym, cafeteria, classrooms, people, clothing, books, maps,
mops, brooms, hallways, mice (if you have them) and everything else in the school, including the languages spoken.
Region
A region is an area that is defined by certain similar characteristics. Those unifying or similar characteristics can be physical, natural, human, or
cultural.
Movement
Movement refers to the way people, products, information and ideas move from one place to another. This can be local such as how did you get to
school today, or it can be global such as how did humans get to North America?
Human-Environment Interaction
Human-environment interaction looks at the relationships between people and their environment; how people adapt to the environment and how
they change it.
How do people depend on the environment? (Example: In ancient times, the annual flooding of the Nile River produced good soil for growing
crops.)
How to people adapt to the environment? (Example: The ancient Egyptians rebuilt their homes each year, after the annual flooding. As time went
on, they built their homes above the flood plain.)
How do people modify the environment? (Example: The ancient Egyptians built irrigation ditches to help water the crops. In modern times, Egypt
built a dam to control the flood waters of the Nile River.)
