Answer:

How are places connected to each other?

Relationships between people in different places are shaped by the constant movement of people, ideas, materials, and physical systems such as wind. Our world is in constant motion, constantly changing. Like blood flowing through our bodies, movement brings life to a place.

Explanation:

Geography is more than memorizing names and places. Geographers organize space in

much the same way that historians organize time. To help organize space, geographers

are concerned with asking three important questions about things in the world:

• Where is it?

• Why is it there?

• What are the consequences of its being there?

The five themes of geography help answer these questions:

• Location: Where is it located?

• Place: What's it like there?

• Human/Environment Interaction: What is the relationship between humans and

their environment

• Movement: How and why are places connected with one another?

• Regions: How and why is one area similar to another?

No one theme can be understood without the others. The themes are connected with one

another, as are all components of our world. No part of our world can be understood in

isolation.

I. Location: Position on Earth's Surface

Absolute and relative location are two ways of describing the positions and

distribution of people and places on the earth's surface.

Absolute location answers the questions: Where is it?

Absolute location is nothing more than a simple dot--often identified as a grid

coordinate on the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude can be used to

pinpoint a location. For example, the absolute location of New Orleans,

Louisiana, is 30 degrees north, 90 degrees west. Finding absolute location is

the starting point for geographic research.

Relative location is the relationship of a place to other places.

For example, New Orleans is located at the place where the Mississippi River

empties into the Gulf of Mexico, which gives it easy access to ocean and river

shipping. Your home has a relative location. Where is it located in relation to

schools, stores, and convenient transportation?

Location is only one piece of the framework of geography, yet it is an important

theme because it helps us know and express where things are.

Discuss answers to these questions about your location: • What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of your absolute location. • What is your relative location and the relationship of your location to other

locations? • How does the importance of your location change over time?

II. Place: Physical and Human Characteristics

The theme of place addresses this question: What's it like there? This theme

considers the characteristics that make one place different from all other places on earth.

Geographers describe a place by two kinds of characteristics; physical and human.

2

The physical characteristics of a place make up its natural environment and are derived

from geological, hydrological, atmospheric, and biological processes. They include

land forms, bodies of water, climate, soils, natural vegetation, and animal life.

The human characteristics of a place come from human ideas and actions. They include

bridges houses, and parks. Human characteristics of place also include land use,

density of population, language patterns, religion, architecture, and political systems.

The theme of place helps flesh out information about location. Taken together, the

themes of location and place provide a basis for observation in geography. These

themes can be used to help answer the first two questions of geography: Where is

it? and Why is it there? With a sense of physical and human place, we can read the

landscape around us and make observations about what we see. we'll explore more

about physical and human places when we look at the theme of region.

Discuss answers to these questions about your place:

• How would you describe where you live physically? Is your place flat or

hilly, hot or cold, wet or dry? What natural resources are found there?

• What are some of the human characteristics that describe your place? For

example, what types of houses are there? Are patterns of land use

different from those in other parts of the country? What types of industry

are found, and how might they be different from industries in other parts of

the country?
