Geography is a social science that studies the physical and human features of the earth's surface and their spatial relationships. It encompasses the analysis of the natural environment, including landforms, water bodies, climate, and natural resources, as well as the distribution of populations, cultures, languages, religions, economies, and political systems across the world. Geography seeks to explain the connections and interactions between these various factors and how they shape human activities and societies in different regions and countries. It plays a critical role in understanding and addressing contemporary issues such as climate change, urbanization, globalization, and resource management.
