GUIDED NOTES

THEME: NOTES:

LOCATION Where is it located? Absolute location is the exact location on Earth. For example, street addresses and latitude and longitude. Relative location is the location in relation to another place. For example, Mexico is south of the United States.

___________________________________________________________________________

PLACE What is it like there? What are its unique physical and man-made features? Is it crowded? Are there open spaces? Is the climate hot or cold? What language is spoken? Places change! For example, the Mississippi River delta formed from sediment and mud carried by the river to its mouth.

___________________________________________________________________________

REGION Regions are groups of places that have physical or human characteristics in common. For example, Michigan is in the Great Lakes Region. A school district is a region defined by a common school system.

MOVEMENT People, goods, and ideas move from one place to another.

The Internet moves ideas. People and animals migrate.

For example, people moved to Michigan during the Great Migration of the 1920’s for job opportunities, for freedom, and to own land.

HUMAN- Humans depend on, adapt to, and modify (change) the ENVIRONMENT world around them. People affect their environment and INTERACTION their environment affects them. For example, settlers clear

an area for farming. Earthquakes and hurricanes destroy homes.

Explain push and pull factors. Describe physical features that may make it difficult or easy to migrate.

Push: Problems that push people away include discrimination, lack of jobs, overcrowding, fear, war, poor schools, etc.

Pull: Advantages that attract people include job opportunities, safety, better schools, family, freedom, higher standard of living, better weather, etc.

Barriers to movement: mountains, raging rivers, bad weather, etc. Modern transportation helps overcome barriers.

The study of geography looks at both physical and human features.

The questions of geography help us to understand the world in spatial terms.

Why are they there?

Where are things located?

The questions of geography:

2. Geography helps us to understand our world in spatial terms.

3. The questions of geography are: “Where are things located?” and “Why are

they there?”

4. Geographers view and interpret information about the world using five themes.

5. The five themes of geography are: location, place, region, movement, and
