1. FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
Geography: Study of Earth’s surface and peoples’ interaction with it!
#1) Location
#2) Place
#3) Human-Environmental Interaction
#4) Movement
#5) Regions

2. Location: Where on Earth a place is located.
Absolute Location: Exact position on the globe
Given in terms of latitude and longitude
Relative location: A way to describe where something is in relation to some other place
TCHS is located between Milton and Bedford on HWY. 421.

3. Place: The features set a place apart from other places on Earth.
Physical Characteristics: Land forms, bodies of water, wind, temperature.
Ex. Chicago is known as the windy city and Florida is popular due to beaches and tropical climates.

4. Human- Environmental Interaction:
How people use or change their environment.
Some changes are on purpose: roads, bridges, plowing ground for crops.
Some are unplanned: Causing erosion through bad farming practices.

5. Movement: How people, ideas and goods travel over Earth’s surface.
Mass transportation: railroads, interstates and airplanes – all provide fast access to anywhere on Earth.
Communication sources: Internet, telephone, etc. account for movement of ideas over Earth’s surface.

6. Regions: How places on Earth’s surface are alike or different.
Regions are a group of places bound together by one or more similar characteristics.
You could divide Earth into regions by political or cultural.
Ex. Southeastern United States, Central America
