Geography

Geography is the study of the Earth’s landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their environments. It encompasses both the physical characteristics of the Earth—such as landforms, climates, and ecosystems—and the human aspects, including how cultures, economies, and societies interact with the natural world. Geography is often divided into two main branches: physical geography, which focuses on natural processes and features, and human geography, which examines human activities and their impacts on the planet. Geographers use various tools and techniques, including maps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and spatial analysis, to understand spatial patterns and processes. The field is essential for understanding global issues such as climate change, urbanization, and resource management.
