Geography is the scientific study of the Earth’s landscapes, environments, and the relationships between people and their environments. It encompasses both the physical aspects of the planet, such as mountains, rivers, and climate, and human aspects, including cultural, economic, and political activities. Geography analyzes spatial relationships and patterns, helping to understand how human societies interact with their physical surroundings and how those environments shape human experiences. It can be divided into two main branches: physical geography, which deals with natural features and processes, and human geography, which focuses on human activities and their impact on the world.
