Movement
Region
Location
Interaction
Place
Movement- How do People, goods, and
ideas move from one location to another?
Geographers analyze movement by looking at
three types of distance:
1. Linear Distance- how far across the earth a
person, idea, or thing travels.
Movement- How do People, goods, and
ideas move from one location to another?
2. Time Distance- The amount of time it takes to
travel the distance.
Airplane time
distance from
Victoria Australia
Movement- How do People, goods, and
ideas move from one location to another?
3. Psychological Distance- the way people think
about distance.
Region- How are places similar
or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
1. Formal Regions- defined by limited
characteristics (culture, location). i.e. Middle
East
Region- How are places similar
or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
2. Functional Regions- areas that have different
places that interact and rely on each other
(example: the city and the suburbs)
Region- How are places similar
or different?
Geographers characterize regions in three ways:
3. Perceptual Regions- areas that are perceived to
have certain characteristics (Ex. Wild West
Location- Where is it?
Geographers describe location in two ways:
1. Absolute location- the exact place on earth
where something is found
10.65°N (latitude), 71.6°W (longitude)
2. Relative location- describes a place in
comparison to other places
(i.e., my house is next to Walmart)
Human Environment InteractionHow do people relate to the
physical world?
How people use what the environment offers them
and change it to meet their needs. Also, how
the environment affects people.
Place- What is it like?
Places around the world are different because of
1. Physical features
1.
2.
3.
Climate
Land forms
Vegetation
Costa Rica
2. Cultural features
1.Language
2. Landmarks
Quick practice- Write down the
theme you think is being
represented by each image.

1. Human –Environment
Interaction

“Dollar General is located across the street from
the high school, about .2 miles away from a
major highway and near the KB
neighborhoods.”
2. Location- Relative location
“Dollar General is located across the street from
the high school, about .2 miles away from a
major highway and near the KB
neighborhoods.”

4. Region- Formal Region

5. Place-Culture
Human and Physical Practice
● On your note sheet, draw an example of BOTH
human and physical geography.
● There is no right or wrong answer!!!!!!
● Draw whatever comes to your mind!!!!!
Closure
Name the 5 themes (without
looking!) and give an example of
each.
