Analyzing the world with the five themes of geography helps to under connections between people and earth.
Fist of there's location. Location is where something is. Absolute location used coordinates to find the exact spot. People use this to find exactly where something if they are traveling or moving. If they want to go to an exact airport like the Madrid airport when traveling to Madrid they would need to know to go to 40°"N 3°"W. People USA relative location to find out how far they are f4om a place. For example, to get from mount Denali to Mount Stand for you would need to know the miles apart to get the distance. They are about 230 miles apart so driving at 65 miles per hour it would take about 3 hrs and 32 min.
Second, there is place. Place is about what the area is like in a location with physical and human features. One example using physical features is that if you are going on vacation to the Bahamas and you live in Alaska you will need some different clothes than you do normally because the Bahamas is a lot warmer than Alaska. An example with human features is that if you're going to another country you most likely will have to learn the language there in order to communicate.
The 3rd theme is movement. There's 3 main types of movement, people, goods, and ideas. People can use movement of people to analyze the world and connections between people and the world by looking at culters and ethnicity. People traveled across oceans and different people immigrate to new places. That's how we have Irish, Mexican, Swedish, African etc in America. Movement of goods helps because we can get food from other places like Florida and get fruits that don't grow here. We need movement of ideas for the fact that we can know when people in war are coming to attack us, or when someone is going to invade our country.
4th there is Human-environment interactions. People interact with their environment by changing it, using it, and adapting to it. People in hot climates adapt to the environment by wearing correct clothing like shorts and t-shirts People change their environment by cutting down trees to build farmland and the not doing anything with the trees. People use the environment by taking the sap in ample trees and making maple syrup for food.
Final, y there is region. You need to use region to annualize the world because if you're in the english speaking region then most people speak english in that region. Or if you're in a rainy climate region then it will be rainy most of the time.
In the end people analyze. the world with the five themes of geography helps to under connections between people and earth.

For me the theme that's hardest to understand is region. When looking at maps that show different regions i get confused by what's a region and what's a country. But mostly i'm not confused on anything.

This post made me think about how important the five themes of geography are! Without them the world would really be struggling. I agree that people need human and environment interactions to live because it is very important and it provides a lot of the things we need, like food and water.
ReplyDeleteThanks Reece! This made me think about how the world would be really struggling which is something I did not think of before. Iḿ happy you agree with my thoughts!
DeleteLily, I can tell that you did understand the 5 themes of Geography. I can also tell that you really do understand how people connect with the earth. You also did a great job of explain how people connect with the earth for each theme. Great job Lily. Keep up the hard work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback Taylor!
DeleteLily, I like how you gave examples of each theme and identified all of them. I was unclear on how you said they analyzed the world with some of the themes. I agree with the examples you gave because I thought they were very effective to the themes you had them included in. I liked how you identified all the parts of each theme so you weren't just saying the theme and example.

ReplyDeleteLily,I really liked how you did an example with each theme it made me understand it more. you really did a good job at explaining everything you wrote for the 5 themes of geography. I agree with you that region is the hardest theme because you have to figure of which is the region and which is the country so i agree with what you said about that. excellent work.

ReplyDeleteLily, I liked how you explained all the 5 themes of geography and gave examples with them. It really helps people that don't get a certain one understand it more. This made me understand place better because of your clear explanations. Also my hardest one to understand was region as well. I also enjoyed how you gave examples to each one.
I liked how you explained the5 themes of geography and what they mean and some examples. Because some people might not know what it means.
