5 Location World Continent Series – Europe 2007

6 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address

7 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places.

8 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places

9 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links

10 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links – hemisphere

11 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links – hemisphere – prime meridian, equator, tropics of Cancer or Capricorn

12 Location Absolute – describe exactly where a place is found by giving its latitude and longitude, as well as a street address Relative – describe the things around a place and the things that connect it to other places. – direction from other places – water as links – hemisphere – prime meridian, equator, tropics of Cancer or Capricorn – climate (coastal, mountainous)

13 The Five Themes of Geography Location Place

14 Physical Characteristics

15 Place Physical Characteristics – size

16 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries

17 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population

18 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers

19 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live

20 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live – the languages people speak

21 Place Physical Characteristics – size – countries – population – mountain ranges, forests, rivers – where people choose to live – the languages people speak – Unique features (wildlife or landforms)

22 The Five Themes of Geography Location Place Human- Environment Interaction World Continent Series – Europe 2007

23 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions + or -

24 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands + or -

25 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland + or -

26 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution + or -

27 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or -

28 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or - Positive Interactions

29 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or - Positive Interactions – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle

30 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or - Positive Interactions – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle Negative Interactions

31 Human-Environment Interaction Every Day Actions – drive on roads that were once forest lands – build houses on farmland – harm animal habitats with pollution – population needs for natural resources + or - Positive Interactions – conserve energy – save fuel – recycle Negative Interactions – nuclear accidents Chernobyl plant in Ukraine

37 The Five Themes of Geography Location Place Human- Environment Interaction Movement World Continent Series – Europe 2007

38 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place

39 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation

40 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products

41 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV, and surf the internet

42 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV, and surf the internet Transportation: movement involving vehicles

43 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV, and surf the internet Transportation: movement involving vehicles – Highways, railways, waterways, airways

44 Movement Describes how people, ideas, and products move from place to place – People travel to work, to school, or recreation – Vehicles travel between countries and continents delivering products – People make phone calls, text, write letters, watch TV, and surf the internet Transportation: movement involving vehicles – Highways, railways, waterways, airways » automobiles, planes, boats, ships, bicycles, cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks

45 The Five Themes of Geography Location Place Human- Environment Interaction Movement Regions World Continent Series – Europe 2007

46 Regions Describes an area of land –

47 Regions Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique

48 Regions Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area?

49 Regions Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area? What languages are spoken?

50 Regions Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area? What languages are spoken? What ethnic groups live in the area?

51 Regions Describes an area of land – Features that make an area unique How are the mountain ranges, rivers, vegetation, and climate unique to this particular area? What languages are spoken? What ethnic groups live in the area? Ask where, how, and why people live in this particular area.
