5 Themes of Geography
Created byMr. Raponi
Location
“Where are we?” is the question that Location answers.
This theme of Location is broken into two kinds of location.
Location may be
__________________or it may be
___________________.
More Location
An ________________ location is a latitude or longitude or a street address. It tells an exact place on Earth.
A _____________________ location is described by landmarks, time, direction or distance from one place to another. You may be able to give Peabody’s location by saying that it is 20 miles north of Boston.
Relative location gives you an idea of where a place is, but does not tell you exactly where it is.
Place
The Theme of Place is broken down into two kinds of characteristics,
_______________ and
_______________.
________________ include items in an area that are not man-made: landforms, weather, rivers, etc.
________________ are items in an area that people created such as buildings, roads, clothing and food habits.

Human/Environme
ntInteraction
This describes how humans and
the _______________________ affect each other.
For example, floods in the mid-west, hurricanes in Florida and earthquakes in California.
People prepare for these things because they know that they will have to face them.
A perfect example is that, just as we have fire drills here in school, children in San Francisco practice earthquake drills as well.
Human/ Environment Interaction is split up into three major subcategories:
_____________________ (How do people need to change their lives because of where they live),
____________________ (How do people need to use their environment around them to survive) and
_______________ (How do people change the environment in which they live).
