5 Themes of Geography Unit 3 What is it? -and- How is it studied?

Geography - what does it mean? It is the study of the Earth and everything in or on it Geographers - the ones doing the studying They do this by describing a place by finding its physical and human characteristics Examine the details and the relationships

Geographers ask 2 basic questions… Where is it located? Why is it there? To organize answers…they use the “5 Themes of Geography” Location Place Human-Environment Interaction Movement Region

Absolute Location - (exact place on the Earth) “5 Themes of Geography” 5 ways to look at Earth (categories to organize their info.) 1.) Location - first step in studying a place… learn of its location 2 Ways To Do This Absolute Location - (exact place on the Earth) Use the “geographic address” to identify location by using Latitude and Longitude Ex. The White House is at 38° N, 77° W Or a street address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC Relative Location Explains where a place is by describing what it’s near By distance, direction, or a landmark “It’s 6 miles South of Washington DC” “It’s over there by the airport”

Physical Features Human Features 2.) Place - describes what it’s like there to distinguish one place from another place Physical Features To describe…may speak of mountains, rivers, beaches, and animal and plant life of a place. Human Features To describe…may speak of population, what the people look like, or man-made features (cities, etc.)

Geographers also use H-E-I 3.) Human-Environment Interaction – how humans adapt to, modify and depend on the environment Theme Main Ideas: how people affect their environment how environment affects people how they affect each other Geographers also use H-E-I to discuss consequences (good or bad) of people’s actions Lasting affects

4.) Movement – shows the connectedness in the mobility of people and their ideas, language, goods (culture) How and why people travel Ex: Jewish families leaving German-occupied Europe Refugees Bring and spread their own culture… People become connected to and dependent on others Modern day…the United States asa“Melting Pot”

5.) Region – An area on the earth's surface that has unifying characteristics (common interests) You can make comparisons on how a region has changed over time by looking at… Climate Tropical or dry Land Mtns. or plains Population Dense or Sparse Industry Farming or Banking For example, states in a region have the same… Grow the same crops Have the same accents
