Location
Absolute Location is the exact place on earth where a geographic feature is
found. Relative location describes a place in comparison to other places around
it.
Place

Human-environment interaction
People learn to use what the environment offers them and to change that
environment to meet their needs.
Movement
Major modes of transportation used by people, an area's major exports and
imports, and ways people communicate
Region
An area of the earth's surface with similar characteristics, usually more than one.
These may include physical, political, economic, or cultural characteristics.
