  5. Movement • Helps geographers understand connections and relationships among places. • Helps explain how people, goods, and ideas get from one place to another. • Examples- cultural foods, jewelry, clothes, music, etc.

  6. Human Environment Interaction • Focuses on how people affect their physical surroundings. • Also is used to understand the consequences of their decisions. • Examples- people clear cutting the rain forest, the consequence- less trees to give off oxygen.

  7. Location • Is like the address of a place, absolute location is the like the geographic address. It is located in one spot, one location. • Relative location explains where a place is by describing places near it. • Example- I live in Atlanta, GA, it’s about 110 miles south of Chattanooga.

  8. Place • This is used to describe a location’s human and physical features. • Examples- mall-people go here to shop; a church-people go here to worship; a school-people go there to learn; the jungle-very hot and moist; the desert-very dry and little vegetation.

  9. Region • Used for making comparisons. Each region has something that bonds it together, like the same language, religion, history, climate, geography, etc. • Used for grouping and making observations about differences and similarities.
