The study of the surface of the Earth. The word is derived from the Greek words "hê gê" ("the Earth") and "graphein" ("to write").

Geography is much more than [studying maps]?. It not only studies what is where on the Earth, but also why it is there and not at other places, irrespective of whether that cause is natural or human. It also studies the consequences of those differences.
