The Five Themes of Geography Geography is more than memorizing names and places.
Geographers organize space in much the same way that historians organize time.
No one theme can be understood without the others. The themes are connected with one another, as are all components of our world. No part of our world can be understood in isolation. For example, New Orleans is located at the place where the Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico, which gives it easy access to ocean and river shipping. Your home has a relative location.
