Review for your Geography Test What are the 5 Themes of Geography? Answer: Location, Movement, Place, Human-Environemnt Interaction, Region

What do each of the 5 Themes tell you? Location: Tells us where things are located. If you want to find where exactly something is located on earth you would use absolute location; if you wanted to find or where something is located on earth in relation to another you use relative location.

Movement: Tells us how people, ideas, items, etc. move from one place to another. For example: in Plymouth, WI mostly people use car to travel, to move goods people generally use semi trucks to transport goods.

Place: This gives us characteristics that define a place, and explains what makes it different from other places (physical, human, political, cultural, etc.)

Human-Environment Interaction:This explains how humans relate and adapt to the environment around us. For example in Wisconsin we change clothing to adapt to the weather for the different seasons, our rooves are generally pointed so the snow can fall off them in the winter, we typically eat ___(what kind of food)___ (think: why is this??).

Region: Comparing physical and human characteristives. May be defined in many ways including area, vegetation, and political divisions.
