GEOGRAPHY

Geography is explored through five essential themes: Location, Place, Human Interaction with the Environment, Movement, and Region. Each theme provides a framework for understanding the Earth's surface and the relationship between people and their environment. Location encompasses both exact coordinates and relative positions. Place details the physical and human characteristics shaping locations. Human interaction highlights how we alter the landscape, while Movement examines the flow of ideas and resources. Finally, Regions unify areas through shared characteristics, guiding geographic analysis.
