What is geography?
Geography is the study of the world and everything on and in it. Geography can be broken down into Five Themes: 1) Location 2) Place 3) Movement 4)Human/Environment Interaction 5) Region. It is an attempt to help you understand the world around you by making you aware of your own world. Why study geography? We live in a democratic society, and for that reason it is necessary to be a knowledgeable contributor to the process. Understanding the spatial context of people, places, and environments of the globe is the goal of geography. Knowing where resources are, why they are there, and the patterns of their movement are vital to becoming geographically literate. |
