Journey Around the World

Geography is a field of science that studies the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth, seeking an understanding of its complexities.

The term 'geography' comes from the Greek words 'Geo' (The Earth) and 'Graphien' (to describe), literally meaning 'earth description'.

Many concepts of geography can be applied more broadly to other celestial bodies in the field of planetary science.
