Places and Regions (G2)

G2 PLACES AND REGIONS
Describe the cultural groups and diversities among people that are rooted in particular places and in human constructs 
called regions. Analyze the physical and human characteristics of places and regions. 
G2.1 Physical Characteristics of Place
Describe the physical characteristics of places.
6 – G2.1.1 Describe the landform features and the climate of the region (within the Western or Eastern 
Hemispheres) under study.
6 – G2.1.2 Account for topographic and human spatial patterns (where people live) associated with 
tectonic plates such as volcanoes, earthquakes, settlements (Ring of Fire, recent volcanic and 
seismic events, settlements in proximity to natural hazards in the Western Hemisphere) by using 
information from GIS, remote sensing, and the World Wide Web.
G2.2 Human Characteristics of Place
Describe the human characteristics of places.
6 – G2.2.1 Describe the human characteristics of the region under study (including languages, religion, 
economic system, governmental system, cultural traditions).
6 – G2.2.2 Explain that communities are affected positively or negatively by changes in technology 
(e.g., Canada with regard to mining, forestry, hydroelectric power generation, agriculture, 
snowmobiles, cell phones, air travel).
6 – G2.2.3 Analyze how culture and experience influence people’s perception of places and regions 
(e.g., the Caribbean Region that presently displays enduring impacts of different immigrant 
groups – Africans, South Asians, Europeans – and the differing contemporary points of view 
about the region displayed by islanders and tourists).
