3. LOCATION Where is it? Aha! I found it! 38° N and 95° W
Absolute Location
An exact address of a place using Latitude & Longitude. Ex: 30N 100W or 2000 Rollins, McKinney, TX 75069

8. HUMAN/ ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
What is the relationship between the people and their environment?
People change the environment and sometimes Mother Nature changes it back. For example, floods in the Mid-West, Hurricane Katrina, Tsunamis in SE Asia, and earthquakes and mudslides in California.
There are three main keys to human/environmental interaction:
People change their environment. (pollution, cut down trees, build roads, hunt animals. . .)
The environment changes people. (hurricanes, tornadoes, drought, flooding. . .)
People adapt to the environment. (clothing suitable for weather conditions. . .)
Examples:
People depend on the Columbia River for our water and transportation.  People modify our environment by heating and cooling buildings for comfort.   People adapt to the environment by wearing clothing that is suitable for summer and winter; rain and shine.

9. MOVEMENT How are people and places connected?
The movement of people, the import and export of goods, and mass communication have all played major roles in shaping our world. 
People everywhere interact and connect.  They travel from place to place and they communicate. 
People interact and connect with each other through movement. 
Humans occupy places unevenly on Earth because of the environment.  We interact with each other through travel, trade, information flows ( ) and political events.

11. REGION
