5 Themes of Geography.

The 5 Themes of Geography are location, place, human enviroment interaction(HEI), movement, and region.
Location has to do with absolute and relative location. So the absolute location of Austin would be 30 North and 97 West. The relative location of Austin might be that it is southwest of Dallas.
Some physical characteristics of Austin would be lakes and hills. Austin is a pretty hot and dry city. Our winters can be really cold or mildly cold. The climate is diffentley up and down. The main language that is spoken here is english. Music is a big part of Austin. We are known as the music city in The United States.
The enviroment has taken a toll when it comes to austin. Many roads, big buildings, shopping areas, restraunts, all the the things that we've made to make life more suitable for us. Cars, buses, trains, and other automobles has Austin a little polluted. But there is always those people out there that have a positive affect on our enviroment. Simply recycling, replanting, and picking up trash that has been litered, etc.
There are many ways people get around in our city and other places.Cars, bikes, trains, buses. Also when people want to fly from country to country, city to city, or state to state there are airports to provide easier travel time. It has become much more easier for people to stay and get in touch with one another by the use of internet, cell phones, and telephones.
Austin is in the southern region of Texas.
