My Learning of the 5 Themes of Geography

Geography is the study of the natural features and inhabitants of the Earth.

Right now, I am at home, in Kao Fong Road Lane 194 Alley 8 House 7. I am 15 minutes away from my school, HIS. I am in the living room. My parents are in the room where one of the computers are, they are in front of me. From here, I can see three other houses.

The term physical when we describe a place is the land features around it, the natural things. The term human, is what the humans made, the buildings, the cars, etc... And the cultural is how the humans interact with the geography.

Humans adapt to the environment because we can't just blow off mountains or drown lakes. And we settled near rivers a long time ago for water and food. We change the environment when we cut off trees, when we build houses or factories, and when we make dams. Almost everything we build changes the environment.
Humans depend on the environment for water which is in the rivers, for food, the animals that we hunt, and for many more things. Without the environment we wouldn't be able to live.

Movement always affect because you rarely do not move. During the day, you are always in movement, when you go to school, when you move from class to class, even you go eat dinner.
I interact with the fruits I eat everyday. Some of them are moved from one country to my house, while some of them are just moved from a field, but in anyway it is movement. I interact with the car that brings to school, it is always in movement. And I interact with many more things.

A formal region is a region that has been determined by the government, it is official. A functional region is like the city where people work and the suburbs where people live. A perceptual region is what the region is in your head, how you imagine it.

I've got nothing to say for you because your own blog is already very constructive. Therefore you don't have to redo it.
