Hello. Today we discussed the definition of geography...the study of the Earth and how the Earth and its people affect each other.
The 5 themes of Geography were discussed:
1. Location-
a.) absolute-uses latitude and longitude lines ( exact location)
b.) relative - describing place near a certain location...(Green Bay is 100 miles south of Iron Mtn.)
2. Place -
(climate is hot or cold...or the land is hilly) - physical features
(how many people live there and the kinds of work they do) - human features
3. Human-Environment Interaction -
How people affect their environment...how the environment affects people.
4. Movement- helps explain how people, goods and ideas get from one place to another.
5. Regions- used to make comparisons...regions may have similar characteristics such as climate, land, population or history.
