1. match each theme with the example:

a. location ____ countries in the middle east share similar religions, foods, and other cultural traits
____ syrian refugees fleeing to europe
____ glacier national park
____ studying the effect of pollution from a factory that dumps waste into a nearby pond

deity: a god or goddess

Explanation:

Question 9 Matching:

1. Countries in the Middle East share similar religions, foods, and other cultural traits

This is about a group of places with common characteristics, so it matches with D. Region (as Region involves a group of several places that have something in common).

2. Syrian refugees fleeing to Europe

This is about how people (refugees) move from one place to another, so it matches with C. Movement (as Movement explains how people, animals, and things move from one place to another).

3. Glacier National Park 40 degrees North, 30 degrees West

This is about the exact point location (using latitude and longitude), so it matches with A. Location (as Location tells where something is located, the exact point using absolute location like latitude/longitude).

4. Studying the effect of pollution from a factory that dumps waste into a nearby pond

This is about how humans (factory) affect the environment (pollution in pond) and vice versa, so it matches with E. Human-Environment Interaction (as Human-Environment Interaction explains how people affect the environment and how the environment affects people).

Final Matches:

• Countries in the Middle East share similar religions, foods, and other cultural traits: D. Region
• Syrian refugees fleeing to Europe: C. Movement
• Glacier National Park 40 degrees North, 30 degrees West: A. Location
• Studying the effect of pollution from a factory that dumps waste into a nearby pond: E. Human-Environment Interaction

(Note: For the "Place" theme, an example would be describing the characteristics of a location like "New York City has a bustling urban environment with diverse cultures" – but since we’re matching the given examples, the above are the correct pairings for the provided scenarios.)
