Geography as a 
Discipline
Geography is the study of the Earth's physical 
features, human activities, and the 
relationships between them.
Geography helps us understand how different

Human-Environment Interaction
Geography explores how humans 
interact with their environment. This 
includes how we use natural 
resources, adapt to different climates, 
and create social and cultural 
structures.
Changes Over Time
Geography helps us understand how 
places and people have changed

Mapping and Visualizing
Geography teaches us how to read 
and create maps, which are essential 
for understanding the Earth's surface 
and the relationship between different 
places. Modern tools like Geographic 
Information Systems (GIS) and 
computer cartography enhance our 
mapping skills.
Contribution to Development
Geography equips us with the 
knowledge and skills to contribute to 
national development efforts by 
understanding spatial patterns and 
planning effectively.

The Earth: Our Home
The Earth is not just a planet; it's our home and the home to countless other living beings. Its surface is diverse, 
with various physical features such as mountains, plains, rivers, and oceans.
1 Mountains
High, rocky areas that can be challenging to live in but often have valuable resources.
2 Plains
Flat, open areas that are usually good for farming and settlements.
3 Rivers
Flowing bodies of water that provide water for drinking, farming, and transportation.
4 Oceans
Large bodies of saltwater that cover most of the Earth and are crucial for climate regulation and biodiversity.
