The Five Themes of Geography
2
The Five Themes of Geography are the ways
geographers organize information into five
specific categories

• Location
• Place
• Movement
• Interaction
• Region

3
Location where something is on the earth

• Absolute Location uses latitude and longitude
• Relative makes comparisons from a known to an
  unknown

4
Place is a description of what an area is like

• Geographers use both physical and human
  characteristics to describe place
• Describe Greene County in terms of both physical
  and human geographic place.

5
Interaction involves how people are affected or
affect their environment

• This theme looks at modification and adaptation

6
Movement deals with how people, products,
resources and ideas get from location to location
7
Regions are areas with one or more
characteristics or features in common that give
them a particular commonality

• Regions tend to be grouped or organized by
  physical characteristics, human characteristics,
  or resources
