LOCATION • Two Types: • Relative Location • Position of a place in relation to another place. • It can change based on circumstances. • Where is OCHS located? Off of Highway 22 • Absolute Location • Exact position of a place on the earth’s surface, • On a map in relation to a grid (latitude & Longitude) or address • OCHS—2340 Highway 22 East Owenton, KY 40359
PLACE • What is it like there? • Features that make a location different from any other place. • We look at two different categories to study PLACE and describe places so that we can adapt or modify: • Human Characteristics • Physical Characteristics
PLACE • Human Characteristics or Features of a Place: • How many people live there? • What do people do for a living? • What languages do people speak? • architecture, patterns of livelihood, land use and ownership, town planning, communication and transportation networks, languages, and religious and political ideologies
PLACE Physical Characteristics or Features of a Place: What is the land like? Are there bodies of water? What kind of animals are there? Desert Valley Caves Wetlands Ocean Mountains Rivers Lakes Streams Grassland Forests
REGION *Regions are relative locations brought together by common characteristics*Regions can be big or small*They are based on: Physical features such as landscape or climate Human Traits such as language, political boundaries, religion, or kinds of work.**Examples: Appalachian Region, Chinatown in San Francisco
MOVEMENT People travel from one place to another; they communicate with each other; and they rely upon products, information, and ideas that come from beyond their immediate environment. Three Different Types of Movement:1. People2. Goods/products3. IdeasHow do you move these things?Telephone, computer, satellite, car, train, plane, ship
MOVEMENT • We need other countries and they need us. • No country in the world can survive strictly on its own. • This can be described by the word INTERDEPENDENCE • Humans need each other
Human Environment Interaction • Humans depend on the environment for life. • We need food, water, air, etc. • Humans modify nature. • mining, mowing the lawn, cutting down trees • Human adapt to nature. • building roads, aqueducts, bridges, houses
