What does world trade have to do with geography? Geography deals with much more than maps. Geographers study five major themes. Link these themes to the issue of trade between the United States and Japan.

Location: Where people and places are on Earth's surface.

Where is Japan located? What's the relationship of this location to the location of the United States?

Place: Somewhere that can be described by its sights, sounds, and smells and by the things that happen there.

One place in Japan is Tokyo, the capital. Tokyo is a major city. What sights, sounds, and events would you expect to find there?

Region: An area that is the same in some way throughout and different from other areas.

In which region of the world is Japan located?
