Five Themes of Geography
• Location• Place• Human-Environment Interaction• Movement• Regions

Theme 1: Absolute Location
Every point on earth can be determined using and imaginary grid of lines noting longitude and latitude to determine its EXACT location.
HINT: How can I remember which is which?
- LATitude – FAT – horizontal lines.- LONGitutde – LONG – vertical lines.

Theme 1: Relative Location
• This describes a general description of where a place is located. – How would you describe where you
live?
• Practice: Using the map on the next slide, determine four ways to describe the relative location of Iraq.

Theme 2: Place• Physical and human characteristics
that distinguish a one place from another. These help provide clues to understanding the nature of places on earth.

• Geographers compare regions to each other and compare specific regions have changed over time.

Theme 4: Human-Environment Interaction
• HEI looks at the positive and negative effects that occur when people interact with their surroundings. – What are ways this occurs every day? – What seasonal activities impact the
environment?– What can we do to reduce the human
impact on the environment?

Case Study: Ataturk Dam
• Completed in 1990 on the Euphrates River in Turkey
• Generates hydro-electric power• Irrigates the plains of the region

Theme 4: HEI – Negative Impacts
• What happens to all of our trash and waste?

Theme 5: Movement
• It is important to understand why people move from one location to another and how products, information and ideas move around the earth. – Movement is often determined by two factors:
•push factors: factors that drive a person away from their current location (war, poor economy, unstable government)
• pull factors: factors that attract a person to a new location (stronger economy, stable government)
• Have you moved? What made you and your family move?

Wrap-up of the Five Themes of Geography
• Look back at your notes from our last class.
• Pick a location to write about (your location can be as local as your home or as foreign as Antarctica!)
• How will the physical characteristics of this place affect daily life? How is this location broken down into physical, human or cultural regions? What types of movement do you find in this place? Do humans have a positive or negative impact on this location?
