History is a record of the past the past shapes the present
Geography is the study of people, places, and the environment
The study of geography focuses on five themes: - location – where the place is - region – several countries with the same features - place – an area’s characteristics - movement – study of the migrations of people and animals - human-environment interaction – how people change and
are changed by the Earth

![Page 22: WELCOME TO SOCIAL STUDIES!!!. Why Study Social Studies? Who cares about the past anyway?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bcb6e550346b4588b5131/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Location Location describes where a place is located Geographers locate places on Earth using
system of imaginary lines: latitude—lines parallel to equator; show
distance north and south of Equator longitude—lines between North and South
Poles; show distance east and west of prime meridian

characteristics common physical features common human characteristics
Geographers compare regions to understand differences and similarities

MovementA Planet on the Move
People, goods, ideas, plants, animals, and physical features move!
Migrate—to move from one place and settle in another
Reasons for Moving Push factors make people leave home
- poverty, overcrowding, lack of jobs, war, political oppression
Pull factors draw people to an area- employment, education, rights, freedom, peace
![Page 32: WELCOME TO SOCIAL STUDIES!!!. Why Study Social Studies? Who cares about the past anyway?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bcb6e550346b4588b5131/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Human-Environment Interaction
Earth is a unified system humans depend on, adapt to, and modify
their environment Environment influences human life
- environmental influences can be harmful: hurricanes, earthquakes
People interact with the environment through everything they do
In the past, how did people adapt their ways of life to the environment?
![Page 33: WELCOME TO SOCIAL STUDIES!!!. Why Study Social Studies? Who cares about the past anyway?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551bcb6e550346b4588b5131/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Human-Environment Interaction
Adaptation Humans often adapt their way of life to the
local environment learn to fish near water; farm on fertile land build dwellings using local materials wear clothing suitable for local conditions
Technology has lessened the need to adapt to local environments
