  1. 5 Themes of Geography Notes

  2. 1. What is the definition of geography? • 2. Who studies geography and what is their job? • 3. What do the 5 themes of geography help you do? • 4. What are the 5 themes of geography? • 1. The study of the earth • 2. Geographers study the earth. They try to answer two basic questions: Where are things located? and Why are they here? • 3. The 5 themes help organize information about the Earth and its people • 4. Human Environment Interaction, Movement, Location, Place, Regions (see your cheat sheet for examples of each theme!)

  3. Assignment: Due tomorrow! • Pick a LOCATION that you have been before! It can be anywhere but needs to be specific. For example, Jacksonville, NC; San Fransisco California; London, England. Don’t just say – Grandma’s house.  • On a sheet of white computer paper (I will suppy you with this) you will need to describe the location by using the 5 themes of geography. • Illustrate at least two of the themes. Can be printed off the internet.

  4. Region: • Coastal Region of NC. • Might need to research this theme! • Something that this area or the people have in common! • Location: • Located in between Jacksonville and Wilmington North Carolina. • Could include Latitute/Longitude • Could use your cardinal directions Movement: Highways and major roadways are a part of the town. Shipping is a major industry – lots of places for boats to dock. Large seafood distributors take seafood from ocean move it to other places. Newspapers, e-mails and other bulletins get the ideas around. Topsail Island, NC • Place: • Coastal Community. Not many people live there full time (big vacation spot!). Hot summers and cool winters. The ocean is a supplier of jobs • Could describe climate • Could describe landforms • How many people live there? What kinds of jobs? HEI: Humans fish the ocean for food and jobs. Humans pollute the beach areas which can injure fish/wildlife. Beach provides a vacation spot and brings in a lot of money for the area.
