The five themes of geography are:

 1. Location: where a place is located
 2. Place: what a place is like
 3. Human/environment interaction: the relationship between humans and the
    environment
 4. Movement: the connections of places
 5. Regions: the similarities of places

*Locations* can be *absolute* or *relative* - a relative location is described
relating to another location. For example, “the library is in just the next
block” means that you can find the library in the next block from wherever you
were told - “next block” is relative to there.

An absolute location is a location described by coordinates. The coordinates
represent a specific position on Earth’s surface. For example, “Timbuktu is at
16°46’33”N 3°00’34”W” means that no matter where you are, Timbuktu is going to
be at that specific coordinate (in Mali, a western nation of Africa).

*Place* is the theme of describing what a place[1] is like. For example, “Egypt
is very hot in the daytime” is a description of Egypt. Egypt is the place,
“very hot in the daytime” is the description.

*Human/environment interaction* is the study of how humans interact with the
environment they’re in. If you study the consequences of cutting down parts of
some forests, you’ll be able to make better decisions about forestry in the
future.

*Movement* is how creatures and things move within their environments, and to
other places. Food must be transported from one land to another, for example.

*Regions* are areas defined by properties that are common throughout the area.

[1] I don’t like one word having two meanings. Especially within the same
    sentence.
