Explanation:

The six essential elements of geography are: the world in spatial terms, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and the uses of geography. "Movement" is not one of these six essential elements.

Answer:

A. human systems (Note: Wait, correction. Wait, the six essential elements include human systems, movement is not one of them? Wait no, let's recheck. Wait, actually, the six essential elements of geography are: 1. The World in Spatial Terms, 2. Places and Regions, 3. Physical Systems, 4. Human Systems, 5. Environment and Society, 6. The Uses of Geography. Wait, but the options: B is movement. Wait, maybe I confused with the five themes of geography (location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, region). The six essential elements are different. Wait, the question is about six essential elements. Let's confirm: The six essential elements of geography as per standards are: spatial organization, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and uses of geography. So "movement" is part of the five themes, not the six essential elements. Wait, no, maybe the question's six essential elements: let's check the options. The options are A: human systems (is an essential element), B: movement (not an essential element, is a theme), C: places and regions (is an essential element), D: environment and society (is an essential element). So the answer is B? Wait, no, the question is "which is NOT one of the six essential elements". Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's re-express: The six essential elements of geography (from National Geographic) are: 1. The World in Spatial Terms, 2. Places and Regions, 3. Physical Systems, 4. Human Systems, 5. Environment and Society, 6. The Uses of Geography. The five themes of geography are: location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, region. So "movement" is a theme, not an essential element. So the answer is B? Wait, but the options: A is human systems (is essential), B is movement (not essential), C is places and regions (essential), D is environment and society (essential). So the correct answer is B? Wait, but the initial thought was wrong. Let's correct. So the answer is B. But wait, the user's options: A. human systems, B. movement, C. places and regions, D. environment and society. So the one not in the six essential elements is B (movement), because movement is part of the five themes, not the six essential elements. So the correct answer is B. But wait, maybe the question's six essential elements are different? Wait, no, the standard six essential elements are as above. So the answer is B.
Wait, no, I think I messed up. Let me check again. The six essential elements of geography (according to some curricula) are: 1. The World in Spatial Terms, 2. Places and Regions, 3. Physical Systems, 4. Human Systems, 5. Environment and Society, 6. The Uses of Geography. The five themes are location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, region. So "movement" is a theme, not an essential element. So the answer is B. So the correct option is B. movement.
