LOCATION
• The position that something occupies Earth’s surface
• Absolute Location – a location that is determined by latitude and longitude
• Relative Location – where a location is relative to other “places” or things…such as other cities, landforms, or bodies of water
![Page 5: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

ABSOLUTE LOCATION
• The precise location of any place on Earth can be
found using parallels and meridians
• Two sets of imaginary arcs are drawn in a grid
pattern on Earth’s surface
![Page 6: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

ABSOLUTE LOCATION
• Parallels:
• AKA Latitude
• Runs east and west
• 0* = Equator
• Meridians:
• AKA Longitude
• Runs north and south
• 0* = Prime Meridian
• Passes through the Royal Observatory at
Greenwich, England

Latitude measures
north and south
Longitude measures
east and west

TIME ZONES
• Meridians calculate time; every 15*, time gains or loses an hour from Greenwich Mean Time
• International Date Line:
• About 180* Longitude
• Go east towards US…back a day
• Go west towards Europe…forward a day

PLACE
• What makes a place unique?
• What is it like in terms of human
and physical characteristics?
• These things allow people to
form a strong sense and bond
to a specific location
![Page 12: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

SITE
• Site – the physical characteristics of a place
• Characteristics included:
• Climate
• Water sources
• Soil
• Vegetation
• Elevation
• Humans manipulate site in order to make it more suitable to their culture
![Page 13: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

SITUATION
• Situation – The location of a
place relative to other
places
• Helps us find an unfamiliar
place by comparing its
location with a familiar one
• Helps us understand the
importance of a location
because it may be
accessible to other places

DJIBOUTI, FOR EXAMPLE…
![Page 15: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
![Page 17: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION
• How humans change and adapt to their physical
environment
• Physical Geography + Human Geography
![Page 18: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINISM
• Proposed in the 19th century
• The study of how the physical
environment caused human
activities and social
development
• Argued that climate was a
major determinant of
civilization; due to Europe’s
temperate climate, greater
human efficiency is produced
(better health, more wealth)

POSSIBILISM • Modern geographers reject
the idea of environmental determinism and focus on possibilism – the physical environment may limit some human actions, but people have the ability to adjust to their environment
• Examples:
• People can choose which crops are suitable to grow in their environment
• Population can be controlled by government policies, new technologies, migration, etc.

CULTURAL ECOLOGY
• The relationship between
culture and the natural
environment
• Different cultural groups
modify the natural
environment in distinctive ways
to produce unique regions

MOVEMENT
• Geographers think about the arrangement of
people and activities found on Earth and try to
understand why those people and activities are
distributed as they are

DIFFUSION OF CULTURE AND THE ECONOMY
• 3 Economic Hearth Regions (Core Areas):
• North America (New York City)
• Western Europe (London)
• Japan (Tokyo)
• What do these cities have that others may not?

GLOBALIZATION
A force or process that makes a local process become
a global phenomenon
![Page 30: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

GLOBALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY
• Most economic activities
undertaken in one region are
influenced by interaction with
decision makers located elsewhere
• For example: I-Phones
• Concept developed in CA (better
education labor)
• Parts processed all over the world
(depends on resources)
• Assembled in China (cheap labor)

GLOBALIZATION OF CULTURE
• Uniform cultural preferences (wearing jeans, using cell phones, eating McDonalds) produce “global” landscapes of similar cultural values
• Threatens the survival of local traditions, especially language and religion
![Page 35: The Five Themes of Geographynmbworldgeography.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/21909828/pp... · 2019. 2. 12. · FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY 1. Location 2. Place 3.

OPPOSING EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION
• Globalization can cause the following to occur in societies:
• Awareness and acceptance of cultural diversity
• Intolerance and hate between different cultures
What is the irony in this statement?
