What are the five basic themes of geography?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the five
basic THEMES of Geography are:

1. Location - the "where" a
place is with respect to other places, or its surroundings. This can include
measurements of longitude and latitude.

2. Place - what are
its physical attributes? What is its topography, are there rivers, mountains, streams,
etc.  What changes have humans made to the place, such as buildings,
etc.

3. Human-Environment Interaction - What effect have
humans had on the environment? Has that effect been positive or
negative?

4. Movement - How have people, goods, etc. moved
across the landscape? How have methods of communication been
employed?

5. Region - These can be formal, functional, or
vernacular.

A FORMAL region has clearly delineated
boundaries that are well known, such as city limits, etc.

A
FUNCTIONAL region is it connections. Delivery routes, judicial circuits,
etc.

A VERNACULAR region are perceived regions with no
clearly delineated boundaries--the Northeast, etc.

Hope
this helps.
