What are the 5 themes of geography and what are the questions they ask?
The five themes of geography is are location (which can be absolute or relative), place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions. Location, the most basic theme of geography, can be expressed simply as where something is. Place is a description of the characteristics that make a certain location distinct. Human-environment interaction also known as H.E.I., is the complex, interwoven bond between humans and nature. H.E.I. is split up into three major subcategories: adapt to, depend on, and modify. It explores humanity’s use and modifications to the environment. Movement is the travel of people, goods or ideas from one location to another. A region is any group of places that share at least one similar characteristic.
