My Learning of the 5 Themes of Geography.

What is geography?
Geography is the study of Earth's lands, features and trait, tenants, and phenomena.

Where are you right now?
The absolute location of where I am is 24°49'14.28"N 120°58'24.00"E. And my house is on 11F, No. 189, Nanya St., North District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan 300. Now I'm in my room. You walk 5 big steps from the door straight into my house. Then you turn right and walk about 10 steps you might hear my sister screaming or singing. And then you walk straight through the door of my room. And you'll see my room.

What do we mean by the terms “physical, human and cultural” when we describe a place?
When you describe a place with physical characteristics means to describe the place with its landforms, its features. To describe a place with human characteristics means to use the place's political, buildings, and man-made thing to describe it. Cultural characteristics is to describe the place with its the interactions of humans and geography.

How do humans adapt to and/or change the environment?

How do we depend upon the environment?
We depend on the nature sources like petroleum, coal..... And we make things from woods.

How does movement affect your daily life?
Movement really affect you in daily life because you move every single day. And it is impossible to not move. When you move from a place to another that's a movement too, and you might use some transportation such as bus, train, airplane, car, boat, high-speed-rail..... Not just living things can move. Nonliving things can move too. For example, ideas can move from a place to another place by the internet and by people.

What “items” are being moved that you interact with on a regular basis?
Foods is an example, food can move from a country to another, it can be moved by airplanes or boats. And the

Describe the difference between a formal, functional and perceptual description of a region.
Formal region is where you can see boundaries on the map. Functional regions is like city or suburb where most of the people live and work. Perceptual region is where you can't see the boundaries on map, people imagine the boundaries in their mind.
