Place
MR. LIP

9. Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to another?
Geographers analyze movement by looking at three types of distance:
1. Linear Distance- how far across the earth a person, idea, or thing travels.

10. Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to another?
2. Time Distance- The amount of time it takes to travel the distance.
Airplane time distance from Victoria Australia

11. Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to another?
3. Psychological Distance- the way people think about distance.

12. Region- How are places similar or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
1. Formal Regions- defined by limited characteristics (culture, location). i.e. Middle East

13. Region- How are places similar or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
2. Functional Regions- areas that have different places that interact and rely on each other (example: the city and the suburbs)

14. Region- How are places similar or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
3. Perceptual Regions- areas that are perceived to have certain characteristics (Ex. Wild West

15. Location- Where is it? Geographers describe location in two ways:
1. Absolute location- the exact place on earth where something is found
10.65°N (latitude), 71.6°W (longitude)
2. Relative location- describes a place in comparison to other places
(i.e., my house is next to Walmart)

16. Human Environment Interaction- How do people relate to the physical world?
How people use what the environment offers them and change it to meet their needs. Also, how the environment affects people.

17. Place- What is it like?
Places around the world are different because of
Physical features
Climate
Land forms
Vegetation
2. Cultural features
1.Language
2. Landmarks
