Location: is defined as a particular place or position. Most studies of geography begin with the mention of this theme of geography. Location can be of two types: absolute location and relative location. In the former case, the location of a place is defined by its latitude and longitude or its exact address.

Place:The physical and human characteristics of a location. Physical characteristics include things such as mountains, rivers, and beaches. Human characteristics include things such as political institutions, culture, housing.

Human-Environment Interaction: can be defined as interactions between the human social system and (the “rest” of) the ecosystem. Human social systems and ecosystems are complex adaptive systems

Movement: Humans Interacting on the Earth. The postmodern world is one of great interaction between places

Region: A region is an area of land that has common features. A region can be defined by natural or artificial features. Language, government, or religion can define a region, as can forests, wildlife, or climate. Regions, large or small, are the basic units of geography
