Before we can begin to study geography, we must understand some basic themes…The Five Themes of Geography.
The First Theme: Location
4
Two types of LocationAbsolute Location – exact place on Earth where a geographic feature is found
Relative Location – describes a place in relation to another place
5
Now in your foldable transfer the definitions, and then add an example or two of each type.
Next create a visual representation of each. Don’t be lazy….quality work = quality grade

The Second Theme: Place

Place – includes the physical features and cultural characteristics of a location. What’s it like there?

Formal – defined by a limited number of shared characteristics. Example: State boundaries (all from Tx, but not the same person) NOT DEBATABLE

Perceptual – people perceive or see a region in the same way (ex: The South)
