Study Notes
Five Themes of Geography
- Location: Refers to the specific position of a place on Earth's surface.
- Place: Describes the physical and human characteristics that define a location.
- Human-Environment Interaction: Explores how humans adapt to and modify their environment.
- Movement: Examines how and why people, goods, and ideas move from one place to another.
- Region: Defines areas that are grouped together based on common characteristics or criteria.
Absolute Location vs. Relative Location
- Absolute Location: The exact coordinates of a place, typically expressed in latitude and longitude.
- Relative Location: Describes a place in relation to other locations, providing context without precise coordinates.
Human-Environment Interaction
- Involves the ways in which humans adapt to, modify, and respond to their surroundings.
- Examples include agriculture, urban development, resource extraction, and environmental conservation.
Example of Relative Location
- A city described as "30 miles north of another city" illustrates relative location by referencing its position regarding known landmarks.
Basis of Absolute Location
- Absolute location is based on a grid system determined by degrees of latitude (north/south) and longitude (east/west).
