FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
Our world is constantly changing. Geographers use tools to study these changes and patterns. The study of geography is fueled by human curiosity. Why are places on earth sooo amazingly different from one another? Why do cities and cultures develop and flourish in certain areas of the globe and others struggle. Five important questions from your text help organize the answers.

What is the location of the place? What are the characteristics of the place? how are places similar to and differetn from other places? How do people, goods, and ideas move between places? How do people interact with the natural environment of a place?

Below is the Five Themes PowerPoint that we will use to help answer some of these questions throughout the class.
