  4. Place • The mix of human and non human features at a given location • Example: Riyadh is a hot, desert area and is the capital of Saudi Arabia

  5. Region • An area with at least one unifying physical or human feature, such as climate, landforms, population, or history • Example: Manhattan includes the cities of New York, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens. They have many skyscrapers and people within the cities.

  6. Movement • How people, goods, and ideas get from one place to another • Example: Cars made in Germany and shipped and sold in Riyadh
