Q

What is geography?

A

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical features of Earth and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time.
