5 THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
AN INTERACTIVE LEARNING MODULE
BY: Mr. Kaciuba

3. DEFINITION OF GEOGRAPHY
ge·og·ra·phy 1 : a science that deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth's surface Source-Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary

4. Geography is the study of the earth and everything on it.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Geography is the study of the earth and everything on it.

5. WHERE DID THE 5 THEMES COME FROM?
The 5 Themes of Geography originated by the National Geographic Society to fulfill a need for geographers (people who study the earth and everything on it) categorize everything they learn. These 5 places are easy to remember. Just say the word “PRILM”.

6. Human-Environment Interaction
5 THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
MOVEMENT
Human-Environment Interaction
PLACE
REGION
LOCATION

7. WHAT IS “PRILM”?
PRILM is a mnemonic device that can be used to help remember what the 5 Themes of Geography are. Simply put, take the first letter of each Theme to create the word PRILM. They are: Lion poop has entered into my Rebok
Place
Region
Interaction (Human-Environment)
Location
Movement

8. PLACE
It is a description of what makes that area different to others. If I was trying to tell you about the bedrooms in a house, and I wanted to explain to you exactly which one I meant, I could say, "the one with two beds and one window". If the other rooms had only one bed each, or two windows, then you could easily tell which room I meant.
This is divided into 2 parts:
Physical Differences and Human Differences
Physical differences, include things that occur naturally, such as mountains, rivers, type of soil, wildlife, climate etc.
Human differences, are things that have changed due to people, such as roads and buildings, how people live and their traditions.

9. PLACE ~more~
What physical characteristics exist in this city such as plant and animal life? What cultural (human) characteristics are typical of this city? Which ethnic, religious, or political groups live here?

10. REGION
Regions are areas that can be grouped together by a set of common characteristics.
We have countries, ruled by governments, areas speaking the same language, or having the same religion, and we have areas served by a particular service, such as a school district.

11. REGION-Things to think about.
Regions -- How can Earth be divided into regions for study? Regions can be defined by a number of characteristics including area, language, political divisions, religions, and vegetation (for example, grassland, marshland, desert, rain forest).

12. HUMAN-ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS
This is about the relationship between people and their environment, or how they work together.
It answers a lot of important questions: What effects have the people had on their environment? How has the environment affected them, do they depend on it for anything? What changes have they made to their environment to make it easier to live in?

13. HUMAN-ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS
It can be divided into 3 parts:
How people have been changed by the environment can be called adaptation. It is the way humans change to suit their environment. An example of this is people who live in very cold climates wearing well-insulated clothes to keep warm.
2. How the environment has been changed or modification is the way people change their environment to suit themselves. Artificially watering your lawn, if you live in a dry area is one example. Another good example is clearing forests to make room for growing crops.
3. How people depend on the environment. This can be thought of how people rely on the environment.
Examples of this are using trees for firewood, or coal to warm us in winter, rivers to transport goods and natural resources like oil and coal, to sell or exchange for other needed items that are not available.

14. Human-Environmental Interaction Things to think about
Human-environment interaction -- What are the relationships among people and places? How have people changed the environment to better suit their needs?

15. LOCATION
This is divided into 2 parts: Specific location and General Location
Specific location is shown by an address. The address can be any type of address that gives an exact position. Here are some examples: A Street Address: 1, Silly Street, Anywhere Town, Nowhere Place A Map Address: 15o20' North, 20o15' West
Both of these examples well tell you exactly where a place is.
General location is shown by saying where something is in relation to somewhere or something else.
Here are some examples: - ten minutes away by train
- in front of the bank

16. LOCATION Things to think about.
Location -- Where are things located? A location can be specific (for example, it can be stated as coordinates of longitude and latitude or as a distance from another place) or general (it's in the Northeast).

17. MOVEMENT
Movement is defined as The way people, goods, and ideas travel from place to place.
We can describe the type of communications a place has and the main forms of transportation, as well as what goods are exported and imported. These all come under the heading of movement.
Look at something you own, where was it made?

18. MOVEMENT Things to think about.
People interact with other people, places, and things almost every day of their lives. They travel from one place to another; they communicate with each other; and they rely upon products, information, and ideas that come from beyond their immediate environment.
