geography

 

• “Combination of Greek words 'Geo' (The Earth) and 'Graphien' (to describe), literally "earth description") is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth.[1] Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be.” (Wikipedia contributors, 2023)
• “While geography is specific to Earth, many concepts can be applied more broadly to other celestial bodies in the field of planetary science.[2] Geography has been called "a bridge between natural science and social science disciplines.” (Wikipedia contributors, 2023)
• “The core concepts of geography consistent between all approaches are a focus on space, place, time, and scale.[5][6][7][8][9][10] Today, geography is an extremely broad discipline with multiple approaches and modalities.” (Wikipedia contributors, 2023)
• “Fundamentals Geography is a systematic study of the Earth (other celestial bodies are specified, such as "geography of Mars", or given another name, such as areography in the case of Mars), its features, and phenomena that take place on it.[16][17][18] For something to fall into the domain of geography, it generally needs some sort of spatial component that can be placed on a map, such as coordinates, place names, or addresses.” (Wikipedia contributors, 2023)
