Mr Help is a mnemonic used to help us remember things like the five themes of geography easier.

Movement is anything that travels trough out the world, whether it'd be ideas, products, or people.

Region is a group of things that have things in common. A township is an example of a region.

Human Environmental are things like the weather and environment related things that lead people to what they are. If the weather was cold, you would see people from the region wearing sweaters. Also mosquito nets are an example of human environmental.

Location is where a place is located whether it is decided by describing the places or shops around the place and the exact area by latitude and longitude or addresses.

Place is what makes the place unique and special and different from other places.
