To find the answer, geographers use the five themes of geography to organize information. 3. The Five Themes of Geography a. Movement b. Regions c. Human-Environment Interaction d. Location e. Place 4. Geographers can’t easily study the whole world at one time. So they break the world into regions. 5. North Carolina is a part of the region in the United States known as the South. Within North Carolina there are four physical regions: the Tidewater, the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Mountains. 6. North Carolina is divided into four geographic regions. The regions help to determine the way of life of North Carolinians. 7. The islands off the North Carolina coast form the beach for much of the Tidewater. 8. A large portion of the land in the Tidewater is wetland most of the year, meaning that the soil is soaked or flooded with water. 9. The richest soil in the state is to be found in many areas of the Coastal Plain. The region takes up about a third of the area of North Carolina. 10. North Carolina’s Piedmont region is a place almost anyone can recognize immediately, for it has an unforgettable feature— its red clay. 11. The line that divides the Piedmont from the Coastal Plain is called the fall line. 12. Farming has been as much a tradition in the Piedmont as the Coastal Plain. However, except for certain rich areas with unusually rich brown soils farming has always been a struggle in the Piedmont. 13. Travelers from the east see North Carolina’s mountains long before they cross into them. The Mountains region historically was never as populated or developed as the other regions of the state. 14. Social Studies is a way to learn about the world. It draws on information from five fields of learning—geography, history, economics, government, and culture. 15. Geography is the study of people, places, and the environment. 16. Landforms are the major physical features on Earth. 1.2 Many Regions, Many Cultures Notes Vocabulary Geography- The study of Earth's surfaces and the processes that shape it; the connections between people and their environment. Location- The position of anything on Earth's surface. Region- An area distinguished by a unique combination of trends or features. Mental Map- A map in a person's mind that contains his or her knowledge of an area or people. Physical Geography- A kind of geography that studies Earth's natural features such as climate, soil, plants, animals, landscape, and the locations of those things. Human Geography- A kind of geography that studies human population, its cultures and activities, and their effect on the physical world. Compass Rose- A map feature that usually shows the four cardinal directions. Globe- A round model of Earth that shows the continents and oceans in their true shapes. Legend- Tells the user about the symbols used on the map. Longitude- The series of imaginary lines that run north and south from one pole to the other. Latitude- The series of imaginary lines that circle Earth parallel to the Equator; used to measure distance north or south of the Equator. Scale- Tells the user the size of a map in relation to the size of the real world by giving the ratio between distances on the map and actual distances on the Earth. Notes 1. The Five Themes of Geography . Movement . Regions . Human-Environment Interaction . Location . Place 2. Location Absolute Location . A latitude and longitude (global location) or a street address (local location). Relative Location . Described by landmarks, time, direction, or distance. From one place to another. 3. MR. HELP! M – Movement R – Regions HE – Human Environment Interaction L – Location P – Place 4. Geographers try to understand not only where things are located but also why they are located there. To do this they use the Five Themes of Geography. 5. Geographers organize their work by focusing on places. 6. Historians focus on time periods. 7. Physical geography is one of the main branches of geography. It involves the study of Earth’s natural features, including water, landforms, vegetation, and climate. 8. An ecosystem consists of all the living and nonliving things in an area and how they relate to and depend on each other. 9. Human geography involves studying human activities as they relate to Earth. 10. Geographers analyze how people adapt to the environment to better cope with it. 11. Absolute location is the exact spot on Earth where something exists. 12. Relative location is the general position of where something is in relation to other things. 13. There are seven continents in the world: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica. 14. Most maps have basic map components that help you interpret the contents of the map: a legend, a scale, and a directional indicator.
