When geographers work, they are guided by two basic questions:
1)Where are things located?
2)Why are they there?
To find these answers, geographers use five themes to organize information
![Page 6: What is Geography?](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110211/56813392550346895d9aa2b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE FIVE THEMES:
1. Location – Geographers begin to study a place by finding where it is, or its location.
2. Place – Geographers study the physical and human features of a location.
3. Human-Environment Interaction – Geographers study how people affect or shape physical characteristics of their natural surroundings and how does their surroundings (environment) affect them?

4. Movement – Helps explain how people, goods, and ideas get from one place to another.
5. Regions – Geographers compare the climate, land, population, or history of one place to another.

THE GEOGRAPHER’S TOOLS
Globes and Maps:As people explored the Earth, they collected information about it.Mapmakers wanted to present this information correctly.The best way was to put it on a globe, a round ball that represented the Earth.

Because globes are not practical or easy to use, flat maps were invented.However, the earth is round and a map is flat.Mapmakers had to find ways to make maps accurate
