What is Geography?

When the term "geography" is being brought up, many would picture maps, trees, volcanoes, cultures, longitudes, latitudes, etc. Geography can be defined in many ways. There are several other definitions of the term when searched on the net. Some say that it's a relation between the physical features of the Earth and of human activities whereas according to Wikipedia, it is referred to as the "the world discipline" and "the bridge between the human and the physical science". In my definition of geography, I defined it as an interaction between nature and humans where the happenings that occured all around the world has an impact on us, as well as how our activities impact the world in return.

                     

  

So the next question is, why do we study geography for? In my opinion, it is for us to understand the way the world is and the importance of it so that we can protect and conserve our Mother Earth. Nature has served its purposes as a provider of food, shelter and life. Human activities such as logging, disrupts the balance of nature where both flora and fauna will lose their habitat and us, losing our foods. The interaction between nature and humans must always be on a balanced scale to maintain the cycle of life on our planet Earth. Thus, it is important that we have to conserve it the way it is.
