Movement The question “How do people, goods and ideas move from one location to another?” Refers to movement. Think about the clothing you wear, the music you listen to, or the place you go to for entertainment. All of these things involve movement from one place to another.

Movement Geographers analyze movement by looking at three types of distance: 1.Linear distance (expressed in miles or kilometers) 2.Time distance, (expressed in hours and/or minutes, seconds) 3.Psychological distance

Movement Linear Distance & Time Distance Linear distance simply means how far across the earth a person, an idea, or a product travels. (Usually expressed in miles.) Physical geography can affect linear distance by forcing a shift in a route to avoid impassable land or water.

Movement Time distance is the amount of time it takes for a person, an idea, or a product to travel. Modern inventions have shortened time distances. Can you think of some examples?

Movement Psychological Distance Psychological Distance refers to the way people view distance. (For instance, when you were younger, some locations seemed very far away. As you have grown older, the distance to these locations probably seemed to shrink.)

Movement Summary 1.Movement describes how people, ideas, and products move from one location to another. 2.They are measured by geographers by looking at three types of distances: linear, time, and psychological distances. Vocabulary Words Movement Linear distance Time distance
