Introduction

Geography is the fundamental science that helps us to understand our physical environment, its
elements and components forming a complex structure of the world

Geographers study the factors responsible for spatial distribution and variation of peoples places with
their locations. Physical geographers explain the phenomenon of evolution of landforms, tectonics
movements, weather and climate, ocean characteristics and properties. Human geographers explain the
interrelationship between peoples and his environment. The study of the earth system with specific
approaches by geographers has therefore specialized branches of geography.

Geography is related to the distribution of the various features natural or man-made on the surface of
the Earth

The Greek philosopher Eratosthenes was the first to coin the term geography derived from the two
words. i.e. geo means earth and graphe means description of earth surface and the entire phenomena
appearing on it. Different scholars had different point of views over geography.

RICHARD HARTSCHRONE; Geography is a discipline that seeks to describe and interpret the variable
character from place to place of the earth as the world of man

BOWMAN; Geography tells what is where, why and what it is made of.

VIDAL DE LA BLACHE; Geography as the science of places.

GRIFFIT TAYLOUR; Geography is the correlative science.

DAVID HARVEY; Geography is concerned with the description and explanation of the differentiation of
the earth surface.
