Five Themes of Geography
Geography- The study of the Earth’s
surface.
Five Themes of Geography
 I. Location- “Where is it?”- it tells the address of a specific spot;
A. Globe- sphere-shape structure of regions which is not flat;
1. Parts of a Globe*Latitude- (parallel/horizontal lines)-the most
important latitude line is the ______- that separate
the North and South Pole.
*Longitude-(vertical lines)- the most important line
of longitude is the ________- separates the East &
West Hemisphere;
**Classroom Assignment: Draw a diagram of a Globe and label
these items: Latitude, Longitude, Equator, Prime Meridian, North &
South Pole, East & West Hemisphere;
Five Themes Cont…
B. Maps- drawings that show regions on a flat surface;
1. Parts of a Map* Compass Rose- shows the cardinal directions of
North, South, East, and West;
* Key/Legend- shows symbols on a map & what
they represent;
*Scale Bar- helps measure the distance between
points on a map;
- pg. 768- Find the distance between (1) Lisbon & Madrid
(2) Paris & Dublin (3) Moscow & Rome
Five Themes Cont…
 II. Region- areas that show & share at least one common
feature;(climate, landforms, similar government)
A. Two Types of Maps of Region
1. Political Map- shows borders, states, countries, etc…
-Also show towns, cities, & capitals;
2. Physical Map- shows the regions based on elevation;
-elevation- height above sea level;
 III. Place- natural & human features that make one place different
from the other; Ex. Climate, plants, people, etc…
 IV. Movement- the migration of goods, people, & ideas from place
to place;
A. Push & Pull Factor- (1) Push- things that make people
leave their country; (2) Pull- things that attract people to
come to their country;
Push Factor- people leaving one
country:

Pull Factor: attracting people to come
to a country;

OTB: Push and Pull of U.S. & Mexico
Explain the Push and Pull Factor of
Movement. List 3 push and 3 pull factors
between the U.S. and Mexico. Based on
those factors, should the U.S. continue to
allow people to come to this country?(3
Logical Reasons and Explain your answer)
Five Themes Cont…
 V. Human-Environment Interaction- focuses on the relationship
between people & the environment;
-Ex. What major companies and businesses exist in Waynesboro?
Why?
A. Developed Country-(U.S.)-use the process of commercial
farming- grow crops to sale, import- sell here
or export- sell to other countries;
B. Undeveloped Country-( 3rd World Countries)- use the
process of subsistence farming- grow crops to eat and survive;
Possibilities?
 Look at the map on pg.
RA6 and RA7;
 The fossils of a
Tyrannosaurus Rex was
found in South America,
Brazil and in Cameroon,
Africa. How is that
possible?
 Do you believe that some
parts of the world fit
together like a puzzle?
Four Stages of Pangaea
 Permian Period1.) consisted of mostly reptiles and
amphibious animals;
2.) One ocean called the Panthalassa.
• Triassic Period1.) consisted of the first dinosaurs and
therapsids;
2.) Mostly hot and dry; Pangaea split
into Laurasia(North) and
Gondwana(South).
o Jurassic Period1.) consisted of all dinosaurs and
evolved mammals;
2.) Humid climate and the first birds
arrived;
 Cretaceous Period1.) Dinosaurs still existed, but more
marine animals and birds were found;
2.) Warm climate and high sea levels;
Scale Bar Practice

Tunis, 2. Cape Town to Nairobi, 3. Tripoli
to Antananarivo.
pg. 772: 1. Find the distance-Tokyo to Port
Moresby, 2. Beijing to Bangkok, 3.
