The geographic theme of place refers to the physical and human characteristics that make a location unique. It encompasses aspects such as climate, population, physical features, and resources. Given the options provided, the following items are described by the geographic theme of place:
a. Australia's climate is varied; it ranges from arid to tropical.
This option describes the climate of Australia, which is a physical characteristic of the place.
b. Australia's population is mostly English-speaking.
This option describes the linguistic makeup of the population, which is a human characteristic of the place.
c. Australia is an island nation surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
This option describes the physical feature of Australia being an island surrounded by specific oceans.
d. Australia's terrain is mostly low plateau with deserts.
This option describes the physical characteristics of the land in Australia, specifically its terrain.
e. Australia is rich in natural resources.
This option describes the availability of natural resources, which is another physical characteristic of the place.
f. Australia's capital is Canberra.
This option does not describe a physical or human characteristic of the place. It refers to the political arrangement or administrative division, which falls under the geographic theme of location rather than place.
So, options a, b, c, d, and e are the items that are described by the geographic theme of place.
I think c. is an example of location, although it could also pertain to place. All of the others can describe place.
