Geography is the scientific study of the Earth’s landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their environments. It encompasses both physical geography, which examines natural features and processes such as climate, landforms, and ecosystems, and human geography, which explores the spatial aspects of human activities and their impact on the environment. Geographers use tools like maps, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and remote sensing to analyze spatial data and understand patterns and trends. The field of geography provides critical insights into global issues such as climate change, urbanization, resource management, and cultural interactions, helping to inform policy and decision-making.
