Geography is the scientific 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, as well as human aspects, including cultural, economic, and political interactions. Geography is often divided into two main branches: physical geography, which focuses on natural features and processes, and human geography, which examines human activities, cultures, and their spatial relationships. Geographers utilize various methods and technologies, including cartography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and spatial analysis, to understand and analyze spatial patterns and processes on the Earth’s surface. Overall, geography provides insights into how people interact with their environment and the impact of these interactions on the planet.
