Review -5 Themes of Geography

 Location – Where do we live? How do we compare it to other places?  Place – Describe where you live. What characteristics do you use?  Human-Environment Interaction - How do we change our surroundings to our benefit? At what cost?  Movement – How did we get here? Why do people move?  Regions – What region do we live in? How do you know?

Location The importance of one thing in relation to another. Relative location-location of place in relation to another Absolute location-expressed in degrees of longitude and latitude Ex. To identify a location, what continents or oceans are near it? (Relative) Ex. Use latitude and longitude to identify an exact location (absolute)

Place How one area is different from another, “Physical” or “Human” characteristics Physical Characteristics: landforms, water forms, climate, soil, plant and animal life Human Characteristics: amount people living in a certain place, how close together they live, social traits, cultural traditions and political practices. Ex. The climate of a rain forest is hot and rainy Ex. There are 3 million people live in Paris, France

Human Environmental Interaction How people, use change and work with a place. Ex. Why is New York City a great seaport?

Movement Explains how, people, goods, ideas move from place to place and change culture and the environment. Ex. Marco Polo introduced pasta to Europeans, it came from Asia Ex. The Spaniards introduced horses to Latin America Ex. In the late 1800s, thousands of Europeans immigrated (moved) to the United States

Region Common characteristics about an area. Ex. What makes Hartford, Connecticut different from New York City? Ex. Make comparisons to nearest neighbors, what makes the USA different from the Caribbean?

In your notebook… 1. With your seatmate, determine which theme defines each picture in the next slide. 2. In one complete sentence, justify your choice for each picture.

Human Environment Interaction Students will be able to explain how the changing relationship between human beings and the environment affects human life from early times to the present through texts and written response.

Geography? Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments.

The theme of human environment interaction considers two main ideas: 1. How people affect the environment and 2. How the environment affects them.

rotting-crops-in-southeastern-u.s/ rotting-crops-in-southeastern-u.s/ Explain how consumers, workers, etc. are impacted by the conditions of the environment as described in the video. What actions could be taken to adapt to unusual weather patterns and the impact this has on the economy.

Human Environment Interaction The number of people in the world, the distribution of populations around the globe and the migration patterns of people from one region to another have always had a large effect on all other types of change. The study of population size, density and distribution is called demography. Today there are more than six billion human beings on the planet. When students of today are twenty- something in 2025, they should expect to share the earth with about 8.5 billion people. Compared to other large animals, humans have multiplied at an astounding rate. How is the earth capable of sustaining such significant population increases? Simply put, human innovation.

When the human population seems to reach a limit, humans have often devised methods or technology that has allowed them to settle a new region or find new ways to extract energy and resources from their surroundings. This, in turn, has allowed the population to grow once more. In short, human population growth has consisted of a series of leaps forward. New skills and technologies have made these leaps possible. We will explore some of these innovations in our first unit.

Discuss with your seatmate and be prepared to answer. How does human innovation (a better way of doing things) enable the earth to sustain significant population increases?

Population growth has by no means always been smooth. Demographic dips have occurred, some rather severe. Recent genetic research in human DNA has shown that, at one point in history, the existing homo sapiens population took a headlong dive. The reasons for this decline are unproven but it may have left as few as 10,000 adult men and women in the world. The numbers recovered but it took centuries.

In another example, we will learn that in the 16 th century, the Native American population may have dropped as much as 95%. The principal cause? Direct contact with people from Europe, Asia, and Africa who carried a variety of infectious diseases previously unknown in the Western Hemisphere. In the 20 th century alone, wars, revolutions, genocides, epidemics and famines have carried off tens of millions of people within periods of as little as a single year. None of these disasters, however, offset the accelerating population growth of recent times.

Five Themes class assignment Answer in your notebook using complete sentences: 1. The theme of Movement explains how people, goods and ideas move from place to place. How are people, goods, and ideas transported in North Carolina? (2 ex.) 2. The theme of Region describes common traits of an area. Name another city/town you have lived/visited other than Charlotte. Tell how this place is similar to and different from Charlotte. 3. The theme of Human Environment Interaction is the relationship between people and nature. People build bridges to go over water. People wear sunscreen. Describe two ways you adapt to your environment. (Do not use the examples we talked about.) 4. The theme of Location is measured two ways. The absolute location of Charlotte is 35°n latitude And 80° w longitude. Relative location is finding where a place is by describing its spot using landmarks. Use landmarks and street names to describe the location of your neighborhood. 5. The theme of Place is a particular spot on Earth that is created by man or is natural. What are the human and physical characteristics of Charlotte?

Human Environment Interaction

Discuss with your seatmate and be prepared to answer: How does the changing relationship between human beings and their environment affect human life?

E.O.L. Discussion: Write a paragraph (5-7) about how you interact with the environment where you live. Include examples of human environment interaction (how you have adapted to the conditions around you).
