Geography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geography is the study of the Earth and its features, its inhabitants, and its phenomena.[1] The word geography comes from theGreek words gê ("Earth") and graphein ("to write"). It means "to write about the Earth". The word was first used by a scientist calledEratosthenes (276-194 B.C.).
Its features are things like continents, seas, rivers and mountains. Its inhabitants are all the people and animals that live on it. Its phenomena are the things that happen like tides, winds, and earthquakes.
A person who is expert in geography is a geographer. A geographer tries to understand the world and the things that are in it, how they started and how they have changed.[2] Geography is not the same as ecology. A geographer tries to describe how things are, while an ecologist thinks about changes that might happen in the future. Ecologists need the work of geographers so that they can work out the future.
Geography is divided into two main parts called physical geography and human geography. Physical geography studies the natural environment and human geography studies the human environment. The human environmental studies would include things such as the population in a country, how a country's economy is doing, and more.
Geographers need to know a lot about maps because maps are very important for understanding geography. Geographers use maps a lot, and often make them. Making maps is calledcartography, and similarly, people who make maps are cartographers.
