Definition

  • Geography is that science which describes the earth's surface, its forms and physical features, its natural divisions and its climate and distribution of natural resources. It is conventionally divided into physical and social (or human) geography and the latter comes very close to sociology (especially to the work done by urban and rural sociologists).
