Humanities Five Themes Of Geography Unit 2015
What is The Five Themes Of Geography
The five themes of geography is a way of geographers classify the world. The five themes of geography includes location, place, movement, region and human-environmental interaction. The five themes of geography is a important tool because if we do not classify the world it will be harder to do things for example import and export. Different themes help geographers in different ways for example movement is like import and export and location is where it is. In conclusion the five themes of geography is an important and useful classifying tool.
Location
Location is one type of the five themes of geography. Location helps us find where a certain thing/place is. Location is divided into 2 different types one is relative location and the other is absolute location. Relative location is one type of location where it is not an exact location for example next to the table or near the java sea. On the other hand absolute location is an exact location maybe using latitude or longtitude for example 6.1745° S, 106.8227° E. In conclusion location is how we find where a thing or place is.
This is the absolute location of jakarta using latitude and longtitude
Place
Place is how we define a location based on its
characteristics. So one example of place is the human characteristics. Human
characteristics can be religion and other things about the people in the
country. Another example of the characteristics is the physical
characteristics. For physical characteristics it can be the max temperature for
each month in the country or the amount of precipitation for each month in the
country.
This graph shows the how many percent of people choose different religion in Indonesia
This graph shows the average amount of precipitation in Jakarta each month

Human-Environmental interaction
Human Environmental Interaction is the type of
interaction between human and the environment. One example of human
environmental interaction is humans cutting trees to make fire or a house with
the wood. Human environmental interaction is a very important word since humans
will interact with environment everyday. All humans and the environment will
affect each other in a way that is good or bad. Since the environment affect
humans,the humans will try to make buildings to take shelter or the other way
around since humans are making buildings the animals and the environment will
try to run away or find a place to roam in the cities.

Region
Region is how geographers classify the world by its characteristics. Region is very important part of the five themes because if not the world will be hard to classify. One example of region is the similliar heat in 2 different places mean they are in the same region. Region is everywhere one example is the states in the USA. Region effects where people live like living around Jakarta is one region and central java is another region. In conclusion region is how we classify the world by its characteristics.

Movement
Movement is
all around us from import to human migration. Movement is how humans interact
with friendly countries either by visiting or import/export things with the
particular country. Movement helps us to improve the world for example by
having a phone product exported to other countries now we all can communicate
locally or globally. One example of this is people in Indonesia communicating
with people in the US to improve their relationships. So in conclusion movement
will improve the way we live, think and see things which can improve the things
we use like for example a smart phone which is always upgrading every few
months.
