What Is Geography?

Many people do not really know what geography is. Some people think geography is just memorizing lists of countries and state capitals. Other people think it is the study of rocks. Still others think geographers just look at maps and pictures of faraway places. However, there is much more to geography!

Geography is the study of everything on Earth, from rocks and rainfall to people and places. Geographers study how the natural environment influences people, how people's activities affect Earth, and how the world is changing. To do this, geographers look at many different things, including cities, cultures, plants, and resources. Geographers focus on where these things are or where related events happen.

Perspective—or the way a person looks at something—is an important part of learning about geography or any other subject. Geographers use a spatial perspective to study the world. That is, they look for patterns in where things are located on Earth and how they are arranged. Geographers then try to explain these patterns. They also look at a world that is shaped by landscapes. A landscape is the scenery of a place, including its physical, human, and cultural features. Geographers look at landscapes and try to explain what they see. For geographers the word landscape is almost magical. Each of us lives in a landscape. When studying world geography, we discover the amazing diversity of our world's landscapes.
