Which of the following is NOT one of the 5 Themes of Geography?

  1. Movement

  2. Location

  3. Place

  4. Range

The correct answer is: Range

The five themes of geography are essential concepts that help us understand how humans interact with the physical world. These themes are Movement, Location, Place, Human-Environmental Interaction, and Region. Each of these themes serves to categorize various aspects of geographical study and creates a framework for analyzing spatial relationships and human activities. Movement refers to the migration of people, goods, and ideas across different locations. Location focuses on the specific coordinates or the relative position of a place. Place encompasses the physical and human characteristics that define a particular area, while Region pertains to areas defined by certain unifying characteristics. The term "Range" does not align with these established themes. While "Range" may relate to a broader context of geography—such as mountain ranges or the range of species—it does not represent a fundamental theme within the framework of geography, which is why it is the correct choice as the option that is NOT one of the five themes.
