PLACE

• It is a description of what makes that place
  different to others.
• This is divided into 2 parts
• Physical Differences and Human Differences
• Physical differences, or characteristics, include
  things that occur naturally, such as mountains,
  rivers, type of soil, wildlife, climate etc.
• I might say that a place is flat with rich soil
  and many rivers
• Human differences, or characteristics, are things
  that have changed due to people, such as roads
  and buildings, how people live and their
  traditions.
• This is where you can really go to town in your
  description.

PLACEThings to think about

• Place -- What makes a place different from other
  places? Differences might be defined in terms of
  climate, physical features, or the people who
  live there and their traditions.

  characteristicsDefined by a functionRegions
  defined by a government or physical
  characteristics are regions that are strictly
  maintained, such as countries or continents.
• Regions defined by a function are areas served by
  a particular service.
• Loosely defined regions are regions that are
  grouped together in general terms.These are
  things such as the North, or the Midlands or the
  Buddhist World, or even the Far East and Middle
  East.

HUMAN-ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS

• It can be divided into 3 parts How people have
  been changed by the environment.How the
  environment has been changed by people.How
  people depend on the environment.
• How people have been changed by the environment
  can be called adaptation. It is the way humans
  change to suit their environment.
• How the environment has been changed or
  modification is the way people change their
  environment to suit themselves.
• Depending on the environment is when people
  depend on their environment for
  something.Examples of this are using trees for
  firewood, or coal to warm us in winter, rivers to
  transport goods and natural resources like oil
  and coal, to sell or exchange for other needed
  items that are not available.

  and Relative Location

• Relative location is shown by saying where
  something is in relation to somewhere or
  something else. It is also known as
  location.Here are some examples
