Cornell Notes

● Grab your Cornell Note Sheet and title it “The Five Themes of Geography”.

● As we take notes you only need to write down what is underlined.

Cornell Notes

Geography

● The study of the earth, its features, and of the distribution of life on the earth. Includes human life and the effects of human activity.

THE FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY

1. Movement2. Region3. Location4. Interaction5. Place

MR. LIP

Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to

another?Geographers analyze movement by looking

at three types of distance:1. Linear Distance- how far across the earth

a person, idea, or thing travels.

Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to

another?

2. Time Distance- The amount of time it takes to travel the distance.

Airplane time distance from Victoria Australia

Movement- How do People, goods, and ideas move from one location to

another?

3. Psychological Distance- the way people think about distance.

Region- How are places similar or different?

Geographers characterize regions in three ways:

1. Formal Regions- defined by limited characteristics (culture, location). i.e. Middle East

Region- How are places similar or different?

Geographers characterize regions in three ways:

2. Functional Regions- areas that have different places that interact and rely on each other (example: the city and the suburbs)

Region- How are places similar or different?

Geographers characterize regions in three ways:

3. Perceptual Regions- areas that are perceived to have certain characteristics (Ex. Wild West

Location- Where is it?

Geographers describe location in two ways:1. Absolute location- the exact place on

earth where something is found10.65°N (latitude), 71.6°W (longitude)

2. Relative location- describes a place in comparison to other places(i.e., my house is next to Walmart)

Human Environment Interaction- How do people

relate to the physical world?How people use what the environment offers them and change it to meet their needs. Also, how the environment affects people.

Place- What is it like?

Places around the world are different because of

1. Physical features1. Climate2. Land forms3. Vegetation

2. Cultural features

1.Language2. Landmarks

Quick practice- Write down the theme you think is being represented by each image.

1.

1. Human –Environment Interaction

2.

“Dollar General is located across the street from the high school, about .2 miles away from a major highway and near the KB neighborhoods.”

2. Location- Relative location

“Dollar General is located across the street from the high school, about .2 miles away from a major highway and near the KB neighborhoods.”

5. Place-Culture

Human and Physical Practice

● On your note sheet, draw an example of BOTH human and physical geography.

● There is no right or wrong answer!!!!!!

● Draw whatever comes to your mind!!!!!

Closure

Name the 5 themes (without looking!) and give an example

of each.
