1 The Five Themes of Geography Review Location relative & absolute PlaceMovementHuman InteractionRegions 1.We use coordinates to find (a) ______________________ location and directions when we are describing (b) ________________________ location. 2.____________________________________ describes how ideas, goods and people travel from place to place. A truck transporting apples from New York to Florida is an example of this theme. 3.We describe a ___________________________________ when we refer to the physical and human characteristics of an area. Manmade structures (buildings etc.) and natural features are examples. 4. ____________________________________ are areas of the world that share common characteristics such as landforms, climate or language. The Northeast, Southwest and West (in the U.S.) are examples. 5.____________________________________ is the geographic theme that deals with how people have modified (changed) or used an area to meet their needs. Clearing the land to build or grow crops is an example. ~A~ Member initials : _______, ______, ______,______, _______, ______ Map Skills Test Review - Table: ______Period: ______ Group Members: ____________________, ___________________, __________________ _______________________, ______________________, ____________________
