More About Location: This screenshot is of a map including Minneapolis and St. Paul. The map shows that St. Paul is Southeast of Minneapolis. That is the relative location of Minneapolis. When using relative location you must use another location and direction to describe the relative location of a place.
The absolute location of Minneapolis is 45° N, 93° W, because absolute location uses coordinates to describe it's location.

This photo represents movement because the woman on the bicycle is traveling along the beach to a place that she wants to be. I think that this also represents ideas because the idea of exercise, and low carbon emissions are ideas that this woman is pursuing by choosing to ride her bicycle.

This is an example of regions, because this is a photo of the MN Biomes or natural regions of Minnesota. It also contains highways and cities. The highways and cities are human regions.
5. Human/Environmental Interaction
How and how much humans have influenced their environment
Photo by Dorigo Wu
(Don't forget to check out the notes!)
This is a photo that shows what the landscape looked like before someone built a road. A farmer had a problem, because his farm was up the trail and it was hard to travel to and from his home. He couldn't move his tractors very easily or at all. So he with the help of others modified the environment to meet his needs.
