FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOGRAPHY

THE FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHYThere are five ways to look at the earth

When geographers work, they are guided by two basic questions:

1) Where are things located?

2) Why are they there?

To find these answers, geographers use five themes to organize information

THEME 1: LOCATION

Where is It?

Why is It There?

Two Types of Location

•Absolute

•Relative

ABSOLUTE LOCATION

• A specific place on the Earth’s surface

• Uses a grid system

• Latitude and longitude

• A global address

RELATIVE LOCATION

• Where a place is in relation to another place

• Uses directional words to describe

• Cardinal and intermediate directions

THEME 2: PLACEPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• Land Features

• Mountains, plains, and plateaus

• Climate

• Bodies of Water

THEME 2: PLACEHUMAN CHARACTERISTICS

• People

• Culture

• Language

• Religion

• Buildings and Landmarks

• Cities

THEME 3: HUMAN ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION

How People Interact With Their Environment

People . . .

• Adapt to Their Environment

• Modify Their Environment

• Depend on Their Environment

THEME 4: MOVEMENT

The Mobility of• People• Goods• Ideas

How Places are linked to one another and the world

THE GEOGRAPHER’S TOOLS

MR. AARON

BBS

MAPS AND GLOBES

A geographer’s tools include maps, globes, and data that can be displayed in a variety of ways.

Globe: Three-dimensional representation of earth. It provides a way to view the earth as it travels through space.

MAPS AND GLOBES

Maps: Two-dimension graphic representations of selected parts of the earth’s surface.

MAPS AND GLOBES

Map Projection: A manner to draw the earth’s surface that reduces distortion caused by presenting a round earth on flat paper.

Cartographer: A mapmaker

TYPES OF MAPS

There are three types of maps

• General Reference Maps (Topographic Map): A representation of natural and man-made features on earth.

• Thematic Maps: Emphasize specific kinds of information, such as climate or population density.

• Navigational Maps (Charts): Assist users to plot a course through water or air.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology helps cartographer’s create maps by using surveying methods, such as satellites, geographic information systems (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS).

• Solstice is the longest day and Equinox is the shortest.

• Solstice happens in the Summer and the Equinox comes in the winter

• The Earth is divided into three parts The Core, The Tectonic plates, and The Crust.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

GEOGRAPHY

2014-2015

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE

Culture: A learned system of shared beliefs and ways of doing things that guides a person’s daily behavior.

There are seven elements of culture

• Social Organization: Family patterns, structures, social classes

• Customs/Traditions: Rules of behavior• Religion: Meaning/purpose of life• Language: Spoken/written• Arts/Literature: Products of human imagination to pass on culture’s

beliefs

• Forms of Government: Provide order and needs• Economic Systems: Production of what, how, and for whom

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTUREEthnic Groups/Race

• Ethnic Groups are cultural groups of people who share learned beliefs and practices

• Race is a group of people who share inherited physical or biological traits. However, many argue that race is a social construct.

Cultural Change

• Cultures change over time through diffusion and acculturation. Acculturation is the practice of borrowing aspects of another culture as a result of long-term contact.

Cultural Differences

• Symbols are often times used to differentiate between cultures. Symbols can be a word, shape, color, or even a flag.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: CULTURE

Development of Culture

• Culture is developed based on a region’s history, physical environment, landscape, city planning, and agriculture.

Marrakech, Morocco

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: POPULATION

Population

• The branch of geography that studies human populations is called demography. Geographers who study it are called demographers.

• Demographers look at population size, density, and age trends.

Growth Issues

• Generally, high population growth rates will hinder a country’s economic development. High rates can lead to scarcity of resources and jobs.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMYTypes of Economic Activities

• Primary Industries: Directly involve natural resources or raw materials.

• Examples include farming, mining, and logging.

• Secondary Industries: Change the raw materials created by primary activities into finished products.

• Examples include a sawmill that turns a tree into lumber.

• Tertiary Industries: Handle goods that are ready to be sold to consumers.

• Examples include stores, banks, and government agencies.

• Quaternary Industries: People with specialized skills not dealing with goods.

• Examples include people working with information such as researchers, managers, and administrators.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMYEconomic Indicators

• Gross National Product (GNP)• The value of all goods and services that a country produces in one year. This includes

goods and services made by factories owned by that country’s citizens but located in foreign countries.

• Gross Domestic Product (GDP)• Includes only those goods and services produced within a country. Most geographers

tend to use this to study a country opposed to GNP.

• These are common means for an country to measure its economy.

Development

• Developed Countries: Highly industrialized countries• Developing Countries: Countries moving toward industrialization. 2/3 of the world lives

in developing nations.

Systems

• Free Enterprise Economy• People, not the government, decide what to make, sell, or buy

• Command Economy• The government owns most of the industries and makes most of the economic decisions.

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: ECONOMY

McDonald’s Restaurant

HUMAN GEOGRAPHY: GOVERNMENTS

Unlimited Government

• Total control over all aspects of citizens lives. There are no legal controls placed on their actions.

Limited Government

• Limited control over aspects of citizens lives through constitutions and electoral processes. These limitations help protect citizens and societies from abuses of power.
