Geography is often thought of as the study of Earth’s physical features, but the subject is a complex one, incorporating many disciplines. The physical formations, landscape features, people, culture and economies vary across the world from country to country. Geography is a very vast topic and it helps us understand the Earth and its many features. It also helps us understand the people who live on it and their cultures.
There's a good reason why we learn geography in school. For one, geography provides us with a better understanding of the world around them. Additionally, learning geography can help us develop an appreciation for other cultures.
