The 5 themes of geography

Good afternoon,
We have been working for a while now on different places, but more importantly understanding how these locations affect culture is what is important.

Review for the 5 themes:

Remember other factors that affect culture when dealing with geography:
climate, location, physical land (plateau, mountains, hills, rivers, oceans) etc, natural resources.

As we now move toward understanding in the regions of the US - think about factors that affect culture in each other them.

The regions of the US are defined more specifically than in class today at this link below:

and now a visual representation:

Hope this helps...
Ms. S
