Geography

Geography is the science of the Earth's surface
Geography = Ge + Graphia (geo = Earth, graphia = to write)
Earth's surface = Geosphere
Geosphere depends on other spheres
Lithosphere - solid part of Earth's surface
Pedosphere - soil
Hydrosphere - water
Atmosphere - air
Biosphere - living things (plants and animals)
Anthroposphere - human element

Types of Geography

General or systematic geography (studies the Earth's features)
Regional geography (studies specific regions)
Physical geography (studies the Earth's natural processes and features: landforms, climate, water, and soils. Examples include geomorphology, climatography, and hydrography)
Human or social geography (studies human activities and their impact on the environment): Cultural geography, economic geography, political geography and demographic geography
The different types of geographic analysis used include natural processes like plate tectonics, erosion etc; and human activities like population distribution, urbanization, and economic systems

This quiz covers the fundamental concepts of geography, including the Earth's layers, spheres, and various branches of geography. From physical to human geography, you'll explore how different aspects of Earth interact with each other. Test your knowledge on key geographic terms and their meanings.
